Meditation helps reconnect your spiritual and physical self. Every day, sit down for at least 10 minutes and clear your head of any thoughts. Focus on your breathing, and try to connect with your inner self. The more you meditate, the more you can strengthen your moon and improve your spiritual connection with yourself.^{[1]XResearch source}

Repeating this mantra can help connect you to the moon and calm your mind.^{[3]XResearch source}
