Meditation is a practice that trains the mind to focus and reduce mental chatter, leading to increased mindfulness, clarity, and peacefulness. It can take many forms, such as mindfulness meditation, mantra repetition, and visualization, and can be used for stress reduction, self-improvement, and spiritual growth.

Spirituality refers to the connection individuals feel with a higher power, the greater universe, or a divine force. It can involve religious beliefs, a sense of connection to something greater than oneself, and/or a search for inner peace and meaning. Spirituality is often expressed through religious rituals, meditation, and other personal practices, and may provide a framework for personal ethics and values. The experience of spirituality is highly personal and can be shaped by individual beliefs, experiences, and cultural background.
