Meditation and Reducing Stress
By Mary Jo Kreitzer, R.N., Ph.D.
 People drive in their cars, eat lunch, and walk their dogs every day without remembering. Thoughts and worries concerning the past and future can often consume people to a point of detachment from the present, forcing them into an autopilot mode. One way to ditch this habit is meditation.
Through self-directed practices for relaxing the body and mind, meditation has proven to reduce depression, blood pressure, and stress. It may even help people sleep better.
