So, what should you expect from your meditation practice? Those of you who are into sports already know that physical exercise is a wonderful release, a means of doing away with surplus energy and tension, resulting in physical and mental ease. Likewise, health professionals speak very highly of meditation and its overall health benefits. It's widely recognized that deep relaxation assists in lowering the blood pressure and vitalizes the mind, calling forth physical and mental wellbeing.

If you find it difficult to fall asleep at night, guided meditation may be just the tool you're looking for. When the mind is really active it's hard to relax, let alone falling asleep. Thinking about work or personal problems are common causes of insomnia.

Physical and mental stress bring us out of balance. So, how do you fall asleep after a busy day at the office? One approach is to keep the stress below a critical level throughout the day, by not allowing it to turn into a wildfire. Preventive measures are more effective than attempting to suppress stress that's already burning. Here, the short meditation on the commuter train or during the coffee break works wonders.
