We usually accept unquestionably that a wholesome sleep and a bath or a shower are most important for our daily lifestyle. These two activities rest and cleanse our physical body. Meditation does the same for our mind. When I say mind, I include all the aspects of our mind such as limbic mind, emotional mind, intelligent or logical mind and intuitive mind. All these aspects of our mind comprise of the field of electromagnetic energy around us that is usually referred to as our Energy Body or our Aura or Biofield or bio-plasma or electromagnetic energy field or Athma, etc.
Our energy body is a physical entity just as our physical body is, although we are unable to perceive it with our five physical senses. We are also unable to perceive the energy vibrations of all the digital information that travels through the air in the space around us until it reaches our mobile device but yet we do not doubt the existence of these. In fact, the energy vibrations of all the digital media interconnections such as mobile phone network, satellite TV network, radio waves, Wi-Fi, etc constitute the pollution that adds to the interference and contamination of our energy body adding to our pain and suffering.
When we cultivate a daily habit of practices such as being with our body with gentle energy movements, stretches and flexing we are able to cleanse our energy body. After this we could sit with a meditative practice of non-doing being to deeply rest and rejuvenate our mind. I have suggested a simple and easy way to begin with an effective practice of meditation in the article linked below.

Can someone who has never been able to meditate learn to practice meditation and benefit out of it?
Yes anyone can practice meditation. It is quiet simple actually. You only need to learn when you have to ‘do’ something. Meditation is a practice of ‘non-doing being’. You need to choose not to do anything and this entails a process of unlearning rather than learning. When I say activity, I am referring to mental activity not physical activity. Just do the following for one to three minutes and see what happens. Your first tool for an effective meditation practice – Focused Breathing and Conscious Breathing – FGCB This is FGCB or Fixed Gazing and Conscious Breathing. Simply take a few minutes to be with this practice several times during the day for a few days. It would be even more helpful if you can practice three minutes of gentle body movements called Deep crossing after the FGCB and continue with the FGCB while doing this. It is demonstrated in YouTube video linked below. Selvans Deep crossing: https://youtu.be/qq6iKZquuVI After several days of the above practice, listen to the following guided meditation audio and sit with a short practice of 5 minutes open eyes meditation. Sit for the meditation after doing deep crossing.
