Meditation is a wonderful tool to de-stress. It has many advantages–it does not cost any money, requires no special equipment, and, unlike medications, has no harmful side effects. And the best advantage is that it can be done anytime and anywhere.

That is particularly important now that we are living in times of fear and uncertainty. Many of us are experiencing difficulty and wrenching change. While you may not be able to control external events, you can control your reactions. The deceptively simple techniques of meditation are a powerful way to gain control of your emotions to help you cope. People in very difficult conditions such as prison report using meditation to successfully help them cope with the pressure and the chaos.

When you meditate you breath deeply to fill your lungs with air. Then as you breathe out slowly, your lungs empty. Simply sit in a still position or lie down if you do not think you will fall asleep and begin the deep breathing as you empty your mind.
