Benefits of Mindfulness and Meditation

💙  Mindfulness trains your attention and awareness to achieve mental clarity and emotional calm.

💙  Meditation aims to reduce stress, anxiety, depression and pain, increase peace, perception, self-concept, and well-being. Presently, meditation is under research to define its possible psychological, neurological, and cardiovascular health effects.

💙  As you go about your day, you may start to notice that some things are better. Maybe you don’t get mad as quickly. Maybe you find your normal stress level has dropped.
