Meditation is the habitual process of training your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts. It will not carry you to another world, but it also reveals the most profound and awesome dimensions of the world in which you already live. Meditation can give a sense of calm, peace and balance that benefits both emotional well-being and overall health. People use it to increase awareness of themselves and their surroundings. Many of them think of it as a way to reduce stress and develop concentration. People use the practice to develop other beneficial habits and feelings, such as positive mood and outlook, self- discipline, healthy sleep patterns and even increased pain tolerance.
