Meditation is many things to many people, but at its core, it's about feeling better. So if you're new to meditation, don't feel intimidated. There's no right or wrong way to develop your meditation practice. Instead, it's about what works for you and what makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
But with any new endeavor, expert support can help. That's where the Balance app comes in. Its guided meditations are personalized to your experience and goals. Choose to meditate with Coach Ofosu or Coach Leah—or try them both. They're your personal support system, ready to help you learn to meditate, develop your practice, and make the most of every day.
Ask 10 meditators what exactly meditation is, and you'll likely get 10 very different answers. That's because meditation is a broad category for a practice that's been around for thousands of years, taught around the globe, and used for a variety of purposes, from relieving stress to staying focused.
At the most practical level, though, meditation is the practice of awareness. It's slowing down, bringing your attention to the present moment, and simply noticing what's going on in your mind and body. That's it. There's no complicated hurdle to jump when you start meditating. It can be as easy as taking a deep breath.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Meditation is popular because it works. While even one session can help you ease anxiety or lift your mood, consistent practice can deliver long-lasting—and life-changing—results. Here are some of the key benefits of meditation:
