What do you know about meditation?

6 years ago

Hi fellow Verblingers!

Do you meditate? In what ways do you find meditation helpful? What advice can you give to someone who's new to meditation?

A student of mine is currently very stressed out about upcoming exams. It occurred to me the other day when he told me about this problem to suggest he give meditation a try. I sent him some links on "Meditation for beginners" (which I myself am now reading up on, too), but I'm pretty ignorant about the matter and I'd be grateful for whatever advice you might be able to offer me and my student.

Whatever great or small expertise you might have as regards meditation, your suggestions will be very welcome.
