A novel which individuals can read to practice meditation, 5-Minute Meditation Vacations: Magical Journeys with a Personal Message, includes 27 different vacations created by the author, Anne E. Beall. The book consists of destinations Beall has been to, and places that she created from her imagination. The purpose is to provide 5-minute meditation experiences for readers while including a sense of being on an actual vacation or getaway. Beall’s goal is for readers to see themselves as the main character throughout the story, where they take a trip and obtain a message at the end. In her novel, Beall states, “the idea is to put your mind in another place and let it do its work off to the side. The purpose is to let go of daily concerns to gain insight."

According to Heart.org, although meditation may assist individuals in coping with stress, sleeping better and feeling healthier, it shouldn’t substitute lifestyle variations such as eating better, controlling one’s weight, and acquiring steady physical activity.
