Why meditate?
We live in a fast-paced world where feeling busy is normal, but having an overly-busy mind isn’t always a good thing – without taking time to sit back and relax, things like insomnia and stress can creep up on us, without any real tell-tale signs.Â
Many of the activities we think we do to unwind, such as watching TV or browsing the web, still have our brains firing off at some speed. Â Allowing your mind and body to slow down - if only for a few minutes - can have significant health benefits, and meditation is one of the most effective ways to do that.
With practice (and patience), meditation can:
•   reduce stress and anxiety levels
•   improve concentration
•   boost happiness and positive thoughts
•   increase self-awareness
•   give you a better night’s sleep
•   lower blood pressure and boost the immune system
On top of all that, it feels great. Just a short 10-minute meditation break can have you feeling revitalised, refreshed and ready to face the world again. What’s not to love?
