Meditation: A simple, fast way to reduce stress
Meditation can wipe away the day's stress, bringing with it
inner peace. See how you can easily learn to practice
meditation whenever you need it most.
By Mayo Clinic Staff
If stress has you anxious, tense and worried, consider
trying meditation. Spending even a few minutes in
meditation can restore your calm and inner peace.
Anyone can practice meditation. It's simple and
inexpensive, and it doesn't require any special equipment.
And you can practice meditation wherever you are - whether you're out for a walk, riding the bus, waiting at the
doctor's office or even in the middle of a difficult business
meeting.
Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years. Meditation originally was meant to help deepen
understanding of the sacred and mystical forces of life. These days, meditation is commonly used for relaxation
and stress reduction.
Meditation is considered a type of mind-body
complementary medicine. Meditation can produce a deep
state of relaxation and a tranquil mind.
During meditation, you focus your attention and
eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be
crowding your mind and causing stress. This process may
result in enhanced physical and emotional well-being.
Benefits of meditation
Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and
balance that can benefit both your emotional well-being
and your overall health.
And these benefits don't end when your meditation
session ends. Meditation can help carry you more calmly
through your day and may help you manage symptoms of
certain medical conditions.
