It\u2019s proven to help melt away stress, decrease anxiety, promote positive physical and emotional health, improve sleep and your relationships, and enhance your self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p>It can also help renew your energy, reduce negativity, and forge a stronger mind\/body connection so you feel focused, inspired, and empowered.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Mayo Clinic, meditation helps clear away the information overload that can overwhelm your mind and contribute to stress.<\/p>\n<p>Meditation can help you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Build skills to manage stress<\/li>\n<li>Gain a new perspective on stressful situations<\/li>\n<li>Increase self-awareness<\/li>\n<li>Focus on the present<\/li>\n<li>Reduce negative emotions<\/li>\n<li>Increase imagination and creativity<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/tests-procedures\/meditation\/in-depth\/meditation\/art-20045858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Increase patience and tolerance<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a study done by the American Psychological Association, nurses working in high-pressure jobs experienced\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/2005-05099-004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">less stress and increased quality of life<\/a>\u00a0and self-compassion after meditating regularly for 8 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Recent findings suggest that meditation may help you sleep better.<\/p>\n<p>In one study, participants who were randomly assigned to a group that meditated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26390335\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fell asleep sooner<\/a>\u00a0and stayed asleep longer than participants assigned to a group that didn\u2019t meditate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What If I\u2019ve Never Meditated Before?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The beauty of meditation is that it requires no special skill or equipment. All you have to do is sit back, follow the cues, and experience the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>If you can breathe, you can meditate. It\u2019s the easiest \u201cworkout\u201d you\u2019ll ever do!<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find that many of the meditations are perfect if you\u2019ve never tried meditating or think that meditation is not for you.<\/p>\n<p>In case you\u2019re still skeptical, here\u2019s what meditation is NOT: It\u2019s not religious, \u201cnew age,\u201d or mysterious. It\u2019s simply a technique to help you slow down, clear your mind, and tune out the noise of the world.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Doesn\u2019t Meditation Require Sitting Still for Long Periods of Time?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>No! Even just a few minutes a day can have incredible benefits for your mental and emotional health.<\/p>\n<p>Many of our meditations are under 10 minutes, making them perfect to do first thing in the morning, after your workout, or just before bed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What\u2019s Included in the Relaxation &amp; Meditation Channel?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll find an incredible variety of content when you click the Relaxation &amp; Meditation tile:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 meditations from the Beachbody Yoga Studio<\/li>\n<li>13 Themed Meditations from the Unplug app<\/li>\n<li>60 meditations from Elise Joan based on her \u201cI AM\u201d cards from Barre Blend.
