Description
Meditation or mindfulness can be a remarkable way of nurturing your emotional wellbeing. Life is filled with academic pressures, social complexities and personal growth, which may lead to stress and anxiety. Meditation can offer a powerful way to find inner peace and clarity amidst the chaos. It can act as a mental reset button, allowing you to take a break from the hustle and bustle and find a moment of calm reflection.
Through meditation, you may learn to manage stress and reduce feelings of overwhelm. By focusing your mind and breathing deeply, you may gain valuable tools for handling challenging situations with composure. This practice can help you build emotional resilience, allowing you to bounce back from setbacks and face difficulties with a more balanced perspective. Furthermore, meditation can promote self-awareness, helping you better understand your thoughts and emotions. Through this journey of self-discovery, you can explore your feelings, gain insight into your behaviours and develop a stronger sense of who you are.

Voice
By practising prayer and meditation, I have discovered a great peace which has replaced my anxieties, fears and problems. By being aware of my body and breathing deeply, I slow down the thoughts in my mind and listen to the silence instead. I like to pray by saying thank you. Through this I channel the energy in my heart and say what I am grateful for.
