Meditation Write For Us – We welcome and love new contributions from our growing community. We aim to demystify Theacefitness for the modern meditator and help make it more accessible to the world.
To that end, we like pieces that focus on Theacefitness and: mindfulness, wellness, research/science, tips for beginners, how-to, business, the great traditions, healing, stress, relaxation, yoga, exercise, eating, habits, the brain, techniques, enlightenment, awakening experiences, productivity, and growth.
We’re probably not interested if it doesn’t contribute to someone’s well-being, insight, or deepening understanding.
What exactly does Meditation do?
Meditation is considered a kind of complementary mind-body medicine. It can produce a deep state of relaxation and a peaceful mind. Throughout meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that might be crowding your mind and causing stress.

A Few Copywriting Tips
- Use a conversational tone. The best online writing is personal and informal. Imagine you’re explaining your topic to a close friend.
- Keep it short. You can write a great post anywhere between 400-900 words, and it doesn’t have to be extended. Just use the space it takes to convey your main idea. If you’re offering tips, include a short paragraph to explain why you’re offering this advice. Are you an expert? Did you also struggle to understand the issue and want to share your knowledge?
- Delete extra words. After writing your blog post, review it once or twice and look for unnecessary words. Can you say it simpler or with fewer words? Look for extraneous ideas and words that don’t advance or clarify your main idea.
- Be authoritative. Clearly, About Theacefitness posts are the author’s opinion, and as the writer, you’re the expert on your own opinion. For this reason, you don’t need to use phrases like “in my opinion” or “I believe,” which detract from the idea you’re trying to convey.
- Use simple English. Try to keep your language simple. Avoid twenty-dollar words when five-dollar words will do. Many people who visit About Theacefitness are new to Theacefitness, so we avoid jargon related to traditions or techniques. If you use terms specific to the rule, be sure to define them. It is also helpful to remember if you’re writing about ancient forms of practice or using words that might be new to those embarking on a wellness journey.
