MEDITATION is simply a technique for relaxing the body and calming the mind which anyone can learn and enjoy. Meditation makes you feel good. And it's fun to do. More than anything else this feel-good factor explains its increasing popularity.
Meditation does not need to be a trance-like state in which you become oblivious to the world around you. Nor does it involve blanking out the mind. Instead meditation is, in essence, about learning to focus in the present so the mind becomes clear and the body relaxes.So long as you consciously focus on one thing and let all else fade into the background, almost any simple activity can serve your meditative practice.

Learning to be in the present and focusing on just one thing is proving to have remarkable effects. And this is what is attracting so much contemporary scientific and medical attention. For recent research shows, meditation tones body and mind and unites both in delightful harmony. A harmonious body and mind means better health and a more balanced appreciation of all life's many ups and downs.

Such stresses are now becoming the concern of employers and managers sensitive to the need to reduce their vulnerability to hazards. Here too meditation is a proven means of reducing workplace stress and providing a healthier workplace culture.
