The Absolute Minimum

■ Meditation is a process of stilling the mind and deepening your internal
awareness.
■ Meditation can bring deep relaxation, with a reduction in stress and its
health-related side effects.
■ There are as many ways to meditate as there are minds to still; everyone can
meditate and find a practice that works for them.
