With overflowing to-do lists and hectic schedule, we barely have time for ourselves. You might feel that relaxation or meditation is just a waste of your precious time. But studies show an ancient practice of meditation and relaxation is valuable to our health and fitness.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), which is about 80 per cent meditation, has been approved by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) for use with people who have experienced three or more episodes of depression.

Meditation is a state of mind where your body and your mind relax. There are several techniques on how to meditate, can be a breathing technique, or mantra. It can also be just a relaxing bath with soothing music and candles. Main goal of meditation is to focus.
