Meditation has the potential to improve both physical and mental health

• It isn’t a matter of clearing the mind; it is just focusing on one thing at a time
• Start with focusing on the breath: feel the air going in and out of your nostrils
• 12 breaths takes about 1 minute so if you count 60 breaths that’s a 5 minute meditation
• Anything is better than nothing! But MRI studies have shown that in 8 weeks of consistent meditation, we can see physical changes in the brain
