It is already a popular talk that meditation and other related mindful practices have a plethora of benefits for the human brain and body. Sitting down for at least 20 mins of meditation per day, or engaging with alternative practice like knitting or coloring is proved to reduce stress and prevent risks of various diseases. Meditation and mindful practices enable the individual who practice meditation to improve their well being, as well as to recharge the brain.
A recently published study also confirms even new evidence of how meditation and mindful practices change the brain and body. The study asserts the following conclusion: “These findings provide the first evidence that mindfulness meditation training functionally couples the DMN with a region known to be important in top-down executive control at rest (left dlPFC), which, in turn, is associated with improvements in a marker of inflammatory disease risk.”

Meditation will help you raise your consciousness and heal, going beyond your ego. “When you feel unbounded and free you will begin to heal yourself,” are the very words you will hear from Deepak as he starts this guided meditation. Listen to him and elevate yourself with his words.
Watch a cool movie. Like "Samsara" (2011). It equals to a mindful practice & will inspire you to elevate your vibration to that of our own planet.
Still don't like meditation? Try out knitting.
Knitting also equals to the state of mind associated with meditation and yoga. Medicine also proves that knitting can lower heart rate and blood pressure, thus reduce harmful blood levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
If neither meditation nor knitting really works for you - try out coloring. Coloring is considered to be the best alternative to meditation that exists out there.
