Meditation
Anyone who has ever practiced meditation can tell you of the many benefits it has to offer. Meditation may improve health by lowering blood pressure, alleviating insomnia, reducing stress and improving memory. Many women claim that they feel younger, happier, and more alert from meditating.
The following is a basic meditation that can be practiced for just a few minutes as a recharge during the day or for up to 20 minutes for complete relaxation. 
1. Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit.
2. You can either close your eyes or just let your eyes drop to where they are comfortable and allow them to gaze, without focusing on anything.
3. Focus on your breathing for 30 seconds or so. Allow the air to enter through your nose and leave through your mouth.
4. Relax your muscles, starting with your facial muscles and work your way down your neck, through your limbs and trunk and to your toes.
5. Become aware of your thoughts. If you are feeling stress or anxiety, take 3 or 4 deep inhalations, hold them for 10 seconds and with each exhalation, try to let go of the emotion.
6. Once you feel calm, picture a peaceful setting like a beach, the wilderness or a lake. See yourself there, content in this setting. Stay there for a moment.
7. Gradually allow your attention to return to your surroundings and open your eyes.
Note: It is common, especially if you are new to meditation, to find your thoughts wandering in different directions or focusing on a sound in your environment. Try putting on some
relaxing music
or gently bring your thoughts back to your meditation focal point.
