Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.” – Hermann Hesse

This continuous cycle of stress usually leaves us exhausted,tired, and emotionally weak. One of the most easy and natural ways to overcome this is meditation.

Breathing is a common exercise, and an integral part of medication which helps improving oxygen a Sobti on and flow in our mind and body.

Regular practice creates a space between stimulus and response — meaning, instead of reacting immediately with anger or worry, we learn to respond calmly.

Apart from this , meditation also increases mindfulness — the art of living in the “now.”

It teaches us to surrender situations with smile and grace instead of pondering on them continuously.
