Reduce Job Stress - Meditation

Meditation is one of the most effective and easy-to-learn techniques to calm down the mind and feel relaxed. Originally attributed to Eastern tradition, the benefits of mediation are now scientifically proven. More and more people all over the world, from schools to hospitals to government offices to law firms, are embracing mediation to avoid worries and stress. The best thing about meditation is that it doesn't require a shift in beliefs, affiliation to any organization or equipment. You can get started now! Here is how you can start with the simplest type of meditation:
a. Sit in a quiet place. Be comfortable whether you sit on a chair or on the floor.
b. Close your eyes.
c. Slowly start taking deep breaths and focus your attention on your breathing.
d. If your attention wanders off here and there, that's okay. Gently bring it back to the breathing.
e. Keep yourself in the above mode for about 20 minutes.
Do it twice a day, preferably in the morning and evening. You may find meditation an immensely rewarding experience.
