Cheri Wine, (Edison State College): The Benefits of Meditation.

Spring Break. Great time to relax and unwind. Have you ever tried meditating? Meditation is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the conditioned, “thinking” mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. It has been practiced for over 5,000 years. Today for example, it is incorporated in yoga classes. I personally love to meditate and I want to share some of the benefits of meditation with you.
