One of the biggest problems within modern society is not believing that happiness comes from the inside. As the old saying goes "Money Can't Buy Happiness" until you truly believe this, you will never be truly happy. There is more to life than material possessions. 
Meditation can be very important in reaching that spiritual happiness and allowing your body to relax and feel stress free.
Your mind and body need to be in harmony to reach the proper meditation mindset. There are specially recorded Binaural Beats that will help you reach the true meditation mindset.
