No longer thought of as just a woo-woo practice, the mainstream medical community has embraced meditation. The benefits of a meditation practice include:
- Stress reduction
- Improved concentration
- Increased self awareness
- Improved cardiovascular and immune health
- Increased happiness
- Better sleep
