Focus the mind to calm down
Today's meditation allows us to focus and concentrate the mind. This is a great way to calm down our body as well. A lot of our agitation comes from a mind that is all over the place - focussing the mind on what you can sense right now helps you to step out of that busy mind and find some stillness.
