Meditation has transformed my life in many ways. Contrary to popular belief, it's not about having a completely quiet mind. It's about noticing our thoughts and learning to let them pass by without getting caught up in them.

Without stressing too hard about it, we want to place ourselves in the present moment. When I sit down to meditate, I begin by focusing on my breath. I observe the sensation of the air moving in and out of my body, and use it as an anchor to bring my attention back, whenever my mind starts to wander.

Of course, my mind wanders all the time - that's just what minds do! But with daily practice, I've begun to learn to recognise when thoughts have drawn me away from the present moment. From here I can gently bring my attention back to my breath, and start again.

As I observe my thoughts and emotions without judgment, I connect with a deeper part of myself. This part of us is always there, but it's easy to lose sight of it in the midst of our busy lives. Through meditation, I've learned to find it more regularly, and it has brought me greater ease and freedom.

Overall, I highly recommend meditation to anyone who wants to find that elusive 'inner peace'. It can be challenging at first, but with patience and practice, it can truly transform your life.
