“When you meditate, sit in a space where you can focus on your meditation practice. In that space, is where you’ll cultivate a state of self-awareness. You can connect with your inner self to explore your true nature. When you are quiet in the mind, meditation helps to dissolve any limitations that hinder authentic self-expression.”
