Meditation is the practice of being here, now, in the present moment.
Through meditation, we may experience feelings and states of awareness we have never known before, as the mind becomes still and quiet.
Meditation can be a long practice, lasting for hours and sometimes even days. Its purpose is not only to calm the thinking mind, but also to cultivate compassion and self-love, which naturally arise through deep practice.
Meditation benefits from a quiet, comfortable, and consistent place in which to practice.
There are many different ways to enter a meditative state.
Meditation is part of Buddhist philosophy, which combines a way of life with principles such as compassion, dukkha (suffering), and liberation.
