Health in the modern era

This question baffles me like every single man and woman on this planet. There must be a handful of people who have never come across this word in forms and meanings so strange, that it makes meditation feel alien and occult. But is that so? Well from what I understand and gather, and please I am no expert!!! Meditation is being aware of your breath in everything one does in the course of the day. If it’s so simple then why billions and billions of dollars are spent each year learning meditation. The question to that my friends lie in our misguided beliefs about everything to do with wellness, improvement and positive change in our lives. We from a young age, specially true in the last 30 odd years have been influenced, bombarded with so many health ideas, stories ,articles across various platforms that now our mind doesn’t have a clear picture of the truth. Meditation is a victim of this over exposure. Something so basic and simple has become larger than life.
