Meditation is an exercise of the mind. It’s an excellent way to relax and can make you feel more rested than even the deepest sleep. It can give you a sense of calm, peace, joy, and efficiency in everyday life. Some people say it has given them a clearer view of reality. Most people meditate sitting up. You concentrate on a specific image, a mantra (a meaningless word that you repeat in your mind), or your breathing. One good time to meditate is early in the morning. A session may be as short as ten minutes, or as long as feels comfortable. If meditation sounds good to you, you should be able to find a program that suits you. Your nearest AIDS group may be able to help you find one.
