A recent study found that employees who practised meditation for eight weeks reduced their rates of depression by 46% and anxiety by 31%.  As the Friday feeling starts to kick in, and the working week comes to an end, how about you take some time out to do a quick two minute meditation video to help you unwind.  Try to make it a part of your daily routine going forwards as well.  Meditation is a practice used by many to gain a healthy sense of perspective.  We can all do it, from wherever we are, to improve our mental and emotional health and our ability to cope with the strains and stresses of life.  The key proven benefits of mediations are:

✧ Stress reduction.
