World Meditation Day – Wellness at Uncommon
At Uncommon, we’re highlighting World Meditation Day on May 21st.
Meditation practises can really vary from person to person. In essence, meditation is a range of techniques that focus on achieving a grounded, present and calm mental state.
It holds a wide range of health benefits such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep and promotes positive emotional health. Studies have actually shown that mindfulness meditations can help reduce mind wandering and improve overall attention.
There are no set rules for what your meditation practise should look like. It’s all about finding what works for you. It could simply be taking a couple of minutes out of your day to sit somewhere quiet and undisturbed to focus on your breath.
Here is a 10 minute stress reframing meditation by Headspace to get you started on your meditation journey.
