      Introduction

      People are drawn to meditation for many different reasons—to increase energy and awareness, to achieve inner balance, to quiet the mind, or to further their spiritual growth and development.

Many report improvements in memory and concentration, more restful sleep, and fewer stress-related symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, and digestive problems. Meditation helps us to gain a new perspective on life and its challenges. When we are able to choose where we focus
