Inner stillness disciplines
Meditative practices are techniques and activities designed to focus the mind, cultivate awareness, or achieve mental calm.
These range from formal traditions like seated meditation, breathwork, and yoga to more accessible activities like mindful walking or body scans.
The plural form emphasizes that meditation encompasses many approaches rather than a single method.
