Meditation

Meditation is a practice of training attention and awareness to achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm, and stable state. Techniques vary widely: mindfulness (observing thoughts without judgment), mantra meditation (repeating a sacred phrase), visualization (imagining specific imagery), breathwork (pranayama), and transcendental meditation (using a personalized mantra). Regular practice has been scientifically linked to reduced stress, improved focus, and changes in brain structure.
