Benefits of Meditation

Meditation is a powerful, yet simple technique that has been shown to decrease anxiety, depression, hypertension, insomnia and reduce post-acute withdrawal syndrome. Meditation also has been shown to reduce relapse rates as well.

There are many apps that have excellent guided meditations. My favorites are:

• Insight timer (offers a lot of free content)

• Calm (subscription required)

• Buddhify (free)

• Headspace (subscription required)
