Keep Calm and Meditate On
Because you don’t need expensive equipment, you can practice meditation anywhere and anytime! Meditation can also be as formal or informal as you’d like. While many people like to begin and end their day with an hour of meditation, you may prefer a different pattern. If you can’t spare an hour, try five minutes! Breathe deep and scan your body, focusing on each part of your body and how it feels at the present moment. You can repeat a mantra like a prayer, a phrase, a word or anything. You can even meditate on a walk. Just slow down and track your movement and feelings.
