    Meditation has been practiced in various forms across cultures as a way to quiet the mind and gain clarity. Mindfulness meditation can benefit health and reduce stress by allowing the overstimulated mind to empty unwanted thoughts similarly to deleting emails, freeing space for new information. Research shows meditation increases mental acuity, concentration, and emotional stability by boosting test scores and reducing conditions like ADD and depression. Mindfulness meditation is not an escape from life, requires no specific posture, does not mean emptying the mind completely, nor is it solely about relaxation; additionally, it is not religious or an unproven theory.
