How to use meditation to heal

What is Meditation:

Focused concentration, relaxation, and obtaining mental clarity are all components of the all-encompassing practice of meditation. Its major goal is to promote inner tranquillity, self-awareness, and mental health. People usually select a comfortable seated or lying-down posture, close their eyes, and perform a variety of mental activities during meditation, such as deep breathing, mantra repetition, or envisioning serene scenery. It helps to enhance balance and mental clarity while helping you establish a calm place inside of yourself.
