The power of meditation and mindfulness is mindblowing – excuse the pun!

Scientific studies have shown that taking the time to slow down and practice mindfulness regularly can reduce the body’s inflammation response to stress, decrease blood pressure, improve sleep quality, and lower the risk of depression. It’s also a great tool for controlling anxiety and improving concentration.

Even just taking 5 minutes a day to sit quietly and centre your thoughts can have a significant impact on your overall well-being. If you find it hard to get started, we’d recommend trying some guided meditations. You can find lots of free videos on YouTube, such as this 10 minute meditation designed to help you reframe stressful thoughts.
