Meditation is one of the easiest and most inexpensive means of stress relief and its benefits are felt instantly. If you haven’t tried it before, one of the best ways to enjoy meditation for stress relief is to take a few minutes to wind down before bedtime - - even five or ten minutes is enough to feel a difference. Find a dark, quiet space and sit or lay in a comfortable position (some people like to lay on the floor with their legs raised up against a wall). Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. If your mind wanders, it’s okay, just come back to your breath. Here are a couple great articles from www.yogajournal.com to help you learn about meditation and maybe even get started with your own meditation practice!
