Meditation
In meditating we aim to bring ourselves into the present moment and concentrate on the object of meditation, for example the breath
We can meditate in a chair, lying down or seated on cushions — it is important to be comfortable
Over time meditation can bring about a gentle but radical transformation

What to bring?
