It often feels like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. Our stress and tiredness make us unhappy, impatient and frustrated. It can even affect our health. We are often so busy we feel there is no time to stop and meditate! But meditation actually gives you more time by making your mind calmer and more focused. A simple ten or fifteen minute breathing meditation as explained below can help you to overcome your stress and find some inner peace and balance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meditation can also help us to understand our own mind. We can learn how to transform our mind from negative to positive, from disturbed to peaceful, from unhappy to happy. Overcoming negative minds and cultivating constructive thoughts is the purpose of the transforming meditations found in the Buddhist tradition. This is a profound spiritual practice you can enjoy throughout the day, not just while seated in meditation. &#8211; from How To Meditate (unknown)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"360\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 640 \/ 360;\" width=\"640\" controls src=\"https:\/\/yogadynamicsnj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/InnerSmileLV-2.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption><strong>The Inner Smile Taoist Meditation<\/strong><br>\u00a0It is a foundational practice to move chi energy to promote deep relaxation, internal health and well-being.\u00a0This is a guided meditation as taught to me by Master Mantak Chia.
