Meditation: A Powerful Tool for Managing Stress<br />
William James, father of modern psychology, said in 1890, "My experience is what I agree to attend to." In other words, what we pay attention to is our experience. It makes up who we are and determines our mood.<br />
A wonderful way to direct our attention toward peace, happiness and less anxiety is through relaxation and meditation training. The power of deep relaxation has been established in hundreds of published studies. With practice, it can be helpful in:<br />
• Changing tense, anxious people who are prone to falling apart under stress into relaxed managers of their stress<br />
• Being able to think more clearly and concentrate more easily<br />
• Managing insomnia<br />
