Meditation began as a challenge for me, calming my mind enough to then clear my mind was most difficult. But as I found ways and time to practice, it became easier for me to clear my mind and meditate.
Meditation has helped foster an incredible sense of well-being and contentment in my life, eventhough I haven't been doing it for very long. I meditate for 20 minutes at lunch and just as I lay down to go to sleep every night. Sleeping was never a problem for me, but I feel as if I get
a more restful sleep now.
Visualization, as I discovered today, has been something that I've used many many years ago, but just never associated it with health and healing. Thanks to Amanda O.'s discussion post, I had the realization that I used to visualize everything from playing sports to preparing for an interview to almost anything I wanted to succeed in.
I am currently in an additional program of study (nutrition based) and find that I'm frequently stressed, but using visualization and meditation,

I can get myself into a place of concentration without all the other "noise" of the day in my brain. Visualization will help me succeed by "seeing" myself accomplishing both my degree and my certification.
