Return to your breathing. Now breathe out. After you let go of all the thoughts that come into your mind. One who has learned how to meditate gets the opportunity to let go of all the stress that life has put on us. It allows you to be aware of the physical self, and gives your mind a place to rest.
Meditation helps one surrender tension, tightness and struggles with the body.
It gives you a place to turn when you get caught up in everyday responsibilities and you lose sight with where you are going. Meditation is your chance to connect with a higher being. It is your turn to listen to your guiding light. It is freedom from stresses of all types. Meditation is leaving the present and visiting the unknown.
