Meditation is the practice of training the mind to help one achieve a state of calm and awareness. Meditation is usually done by focusing one’s mind on a particular object, place or activity.

How to Meditate

The Dhammakaya Method

The Dhammakaya school of meditation focuses on bringing the mind to the center of the body, which is considered the resting place of the mind.

The method employs three main techniques to bring one's mind to a point of focus at the center: visualization, observing the breath, and use of a mantra.

These benefits include: reduced stress, greater mental clarity, improved memory, improvements in mood, increased willpower, a stronger immune system, higher self awareness, and greater self-esteem.
