The Marvels of Mindful Meditation<\/b><\/h3>\n

Meditation has a long history, but it\u2019s just as useful today as it ever was. We use meditation, along with meditative breathing techniques, to bring ourselves to a deeper state of presence and clarity of consciousness. It can connect us with the subtler parts of ourselves and our ways of being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to mention, meditation has been scientifically proven to positively influence both our physical and mental health. It can not only reduce stress, but also inflammation in the body as well. The same cannot be said for time spent on social media! So the next time you feel the urge to keep scrolling, try these exercises instead, and experience the difference of spending a few minutes <\/span>with<\/span><\/i> yourself, rather than distracting yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we\u2019ll discuss three techniques\u2014<\/span>conscious breathing, mantra meditation, <\/b>and a body scan for deep sleep<\/b>\u2014that can be done separately or sequentially, for both a better day and a better night\u2019s sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n
