I’ve never stopped meditating daily since I first tried it out. It only takes 20-30mins in the morning for me

On a first place it can help you to release your body from stress. Healing process starts from this point. Then it will help you to manage your thoughts as well as your emotions, which is all also very beneficial for health

Their mobile app is pretty good too. When I first got into meditating, I couldn’t sit still for long, and there was a function on the app that "dings" every X minute (I can’t really recall now). So I just did 2 minutes at a time and eventually could meditate for longer sessions without having to rely on a timer.


Everything is free, by the way. You can pay for the packages, but frankly just do the free ones to get started first!

It energises you. It relaxes you. It increases your resilience. It improves your focus. It allows you to cope. It makes you appreciate life on so many more levels than you ever thought possible.

It also helps to reduce stress and reduce age-related memory loss.

This is not difficult at all. We can practise it anytime and anywhere
Ya, sometimes very fed up at work, so will remind myself to \"remember to breathe\".

It helps me to \"let go\"

One is called \"Mindfulness\". It's free. If need more guided content, then those are payable.

Can check out this link on https://www.mindful.org/meditation/mindfulness-getting-started/ if interested to find out more.

How to do meditation? Must attend a course to learn?

Not necessary to attend courses. Can try some breathing exercises.

For example,

Close eyes
Inhale for 8 counts
Hold breath for 8 counts
Exhale slowly for 12 counts

Repeat 3x (or how many you feel is necessary)

Basically just focus on your breath. If your mind wanders, just redirect to breath

Can do this breathing exercise in the morning and evening

I actually use this app called Headspace. The first 10 days are free and you get an introduction to meditation, but I find the real value in the premium package. It costs only 100 dollars a year for me, so I find it very worth it. I purchased it recently because I’ve found it so useful.
