Synopsis "The Meditation Yearbook: 52 Meditations for a Year of Mindfulness, Connection and Inner Peace"
"If you don't have time to meditate for five minutes, you should meditate for an hour." This proverb, in various forms and attributed to various sage people throughout the years, will be familiar to anyone who has ever dipped their toe into the world of meditation! As a practice, it has significant mental health benefits such as for stress reduction, anxiety management, improving memory and battling intrusive thoughts, but it also has proven physical benefits. Meditation has been shown to help improve the quality of sleep, support lowering of blood pressure, and aid in strengthening the immune system and a bodies response to stress. And yet... making meditation part of daily life can be tricky. When we're constantly on the go and bombarded with responsibilities, finding the time to meditate can seem impossible, not to mention a little dull to our overstimulated 21st century minds.
