Meditation:
Meditation can be broadly defined as any activity that keeps the attention pleasantly anchored in the present moment. When the mind is calm and focused in the present, it is neither reacting to memories from the past nor being preoccupied with plans for the future. The intention is not to remove stimulation but rather to direct your concentration to one healing element – one sound, one word, one image, or one’s breath. When the mind is filled with the feeling of calm and peace, it cannot take off on its own worry, stress out, or get depressed.
