A practice in which an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditation]
Do it often and do it regularly because the benefits of meditation come from its practice, not from theory and books. You can't get it by thinking about it. You have to actually sit and meditate, as it gives you a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit both your emotional well-being and your overall health.
Mistakes for beginners, you might make while practicing meditation.
1. Expecting too much too soon
2. Being inconsistent in your practice
3. Not giving enough time to a technique
4. Not enough preparation
5. Practicing in a noisy environment
Meditation is a practice, not a sprint.
So why meditation so powerful? Understanding the Power of Meditation
Meditation and mindfulness induce a heightened state of awareness and focused attention. Various studies demonstrate the practice can help relieve stress — as well as manage anxiety, reduce inflammation, and improve memory and attention, to boot.
