In these modern days everyone is so connected to cell phones, TV and Internet, most people rarely enjoy the beauty of silence. The ability to quiet your mind and relax your body is a skill that everyone should develop. Simply sit somewhere, preferably in nature, and focus on your breathing or try to think about nothing. This is going to be extremely hard at first! You might find it boring or impossible to think of nothing, but you will get better and you will learn to love it. Post-meditation, you will feel extremely clear-headed and wonderful. The only way to really understand this sensation is to try it. Beaches, forests, lakes and even bird sanctuaries are all great places to try this exercise.
