Meditative practices

Meditative practices are techniques used to focus the mind, promote relaxation, and enhance awareness. They often involve quieting thoughts, paying attention to the present moment, or observing sensations and breathing without judgment. These practices can reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and foster emotional well-being. Common forms include mindfulness meditation, where you observe your thoughts and feelings non-reactively, and concentration practices, which involve focusing on a single object or sound. While origins vary across cultures, modern meditation is widely used for mental health, stress management, and personal growth.
