Meditation is the practice of concentrated focus upon a sound, object, visualization, the breath, in order to increase awareness of the present moment. It reduces stress, promotes relaxation and enhances personal and spiritual growth.

Reflection on Joy here
Taking responsibility for your well-being is part of living. Explore your inner landscape to find your calmness and peace. In that place of calmness you can meet your soul. Your soul will nourish you and you can learn to receive guidance on your life from your soul.

Finding January a challenging month? Or perhaps there is something else in your life which is spoiling your calmness and well-being, giving you worry and anxiety.
Each of us runs our own lives and we can seek out ways of improving our well-being. This is not about expensive classes or time consuming activities. Music and singing can be listened to, or joined in with, as we travel to work or do domestic tasks.
Deva Premal and Miten give us an overview of what is possible and how it helped them.
For many years there has been a debate on the health benefits of mindfulness meditation. My unscientific observation of students would indicate that those who regularly meditated seemed to have greater mental and physical health. Was I just being hopeful?
Early studies into the benefits of mindful meditation were inconclusive but there have now been more extensive studies undertaken. Jill Suttie has written a very informative article on the outcome of those studies. It is well worth the read.
Thank you @JillStuttie
