Meditation is a practice where an individual intentionally focuses their mind on a particular object, thought, or activity to cultivate a heightened state of awareness and emotional calm. It involves techniques that encourage mindfulness, concentration, and a sense of inner peace, often leading to improved mental clarity and well-being.
Yoga is a holistic practice that originated in ancient India, designed to unite the body, mind, and spirit. It involves a combination of physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation (dhyana). The goal of yoga is to achieve a state of balance and harmony, promoting physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual growth.
