Meditation is a practice that involves training the mind to achieve a state of focused attention and heightened awareness. Numerous studies have shown the benefits of meditation for individuals with cancer, including reduced anxiety, improved mood, enhanced immune function, and a greater sense of wellbeing. Incorporating meditation into your daily routine can be a powerful tool in your journey to wellness. Don’t feel like you need to perfect the art of meditation to the point of becoming an enlightened Tibetan monk. Just practicing 15 minutes a day at home, can enrich your life in ways you never thought possible.
