Meditation isn’t about religion, it’s about mindfulness.

Many people would associate meditation with Buddhism or Hinduism. Even within those religious schools, the basic form of contemplation, the root of all practices that follow, is a simple mindfulness meditation. There is no need to adhere to religious iconography or dogma just because you want to sharpen and clear your mind. Regardless of religious alignment or the lack thereof, calming your mind allows you to focus on the task at hand.

“If you are depressed, you’re living in the past. If you’re anxious, you’re living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.”

– Lao Tzu

The important thing about meditation is concentration and quiet time.

Establishing time every day for focused mindfulness, even as little as 5 to 15 minutes, will bring a calm to your mind that will positively impact all areas of your life.
