A Guide to Meditation
Meditation is a practice that involves focusing one’s attention on a single object, thought, sensation, or activity. Meditation can be classified into two main types: concentrative and mindfulness.

Mindfulness meditation involves expanding one’s awareness to the present moment, without judging or reacting to any thoughts, feelings, or sensations that arise.
