Meditation
Power of meditation
In case you need a reminder, just take three minutes to feel what happens in your body and mind when you sit and concentrate on your breath.
When you feel this power you are connecting to your experience in a different way. Often we are just analysing our experience, but through meditation we learn to use awareness of our experience as well.
Just experiencing that through actually meditating is the best way to understand it.
Enjoy
