What is meditation and mindfulness training?

Meditation can be defined as a set of techniques that are intended to encourage and help heightened state of awareness and focused attention. During a meditation session it can elevate you to a higher level of consciousness so you focus your attention and eliminate any wandering thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing unnecessary stress. Meditation teaches you to control your emotions by just being aware of the emotion without the attached feeling.

At its core, meditation involves learning to focus the mind on a specific object, thought, or activity, such as the breath, a mantra, or a visualization. The purpose of this focused attention is to quiet the mind and create a sense of inner peace and stillness to help our Esports athletes compete at their peak performance. By bringing the mind into a more peaceful state, meditation can help reduce stress, anxiety, and other negative emotions that can interfere with our wellbeing.
