I strongly endorse what Yagr says about Meditation being a Secular practice which has been proven to have both mental and physical benefits.

I would also recommend Breathing Meditation as a simple, yet powerful, starting point for anyone interested. I have utilised the simplicity of Breathing Meditation regularly over the years, and have even stripped back my practice to just this for weeks when my mind is so sick I lose the ability to attain my Goal.

I am a Christian with unconventional beliefs, who follows Buddhist Philosophy. I find no conflict between my Religion, Philosophy and Meditative practice.
