Meditation — simply explained

Meditation is stepping out of the constant stream of everyday thoughts — planning, worrying, joy or sadness.

Instead of following them, you gently quiet the mind and return to your breath.
Like a teacup, it is the empty space that gives it its purpose.
In that quiet space, the mind settles and becomes clearer.

It is said: meditate 5 minutes a day — but if you are very busy, meditate at least 15.
