meditation

meditation is the practice of focusing attention on feeling calm and having a clear awareness about life. it can produce a state of relaxation that reduces heart rate, slows breathing, and lowers blood pressure.

meditation usually involves slow, regular breathing and sitting quietly for 15 to 20 minutes. during meditation, a person may focus on a single image, sound, or mantra (words spoken or sung in a pattern). a person may focus on breathing. some meditators do not focus on a single purpose but rather try to let all thoughts, feelings, sounds, or images just pass through their minds.
