Meditation Can Improve Creativity
Experiencing a mental block? Can’t locate your muse? Meditation can help to boost the creative juices by clearing your mind of all the busy chatter.
Meditation Teaches You How To Focus
Meditation helps you to concentrate on your breath and surrounding environment. On the other hand, it can also help you to tune out a noisy environment, promoting focus and concentration.

As you begin to sink into meditation you must first relax your muscles, mind, etc. By doing so you help to relieve the stress being held in your muscles and joints, as well as your mind, body, and soul.
