Meditation improves your mental well being. You have a clearer mind as well as better concentration, so the vast wealth of benefits meditation brings is unbelievable. To tap into this vast mine of potential, one has to take that first step and the easiest route is through a mediation workshop.
Meditation is simple.
By definition it is the art of learning to focus our attention on one thing. A simple explanation maybe, but depending on the ‘one thing’ this enables us to either profoundly explore the mysteries and wonders of the inner universe, or perhaps just enjoy the physical sensations of watching a delicately flickering candle flame.
A candle can give us a point of focus, but its external and we use the 5 senses to witness it. Deeper meditation and greater degrees of awareness require the use of internal keys and the introduction to and development of an extra sense as we learn to relax and expand in a different way to what we are used to.
In day-to-day life it is natural to find our thoughts racing from one thing to another in endless circles. This constant unfocused activity often feels very draining, so much so, we crave a quiet place, a refuge, - a place with some stillness and solitude away from activity. Learn to meditatate and you can have this relaxation and tranquillity, anytime, anywhere.
There is much documentation and evidence supporting the many natural benefits of meditating. We can also use meditation to discover new uncharted inner levels of ourselves, if we choose to, progressing and exploring even further using a personal mantra or advanced meditation.
The most important point to remember is that it is not the theory that holds the benefits, its not reading about how to meditate – it’s the practice itself that can help you to enjoy and experience new levels of awareness, the deepest relaxation, and daily use of your vast hidden storehouse of inner potential. Meditation offers you the opportunity to learn to relax in new ways, explore new levels of energy and awareness, and allow you to answer all your questions by yourself - for yourself.
Just imagine how much difference this freedom could make!
Meditation helps you...
...find inner peace, real happiness and contentment for yourself and the ability to share it with others, cope with the pressures and stresses of work and modern life, develop mental clarity, concentration and focus, and relate to others in a calm, caring, and constructive manner.
Within meditation workshops you can find simple relaxation techniques and profound methods to attain everlasting bliss.
In a modern world that values activity, achievements and results, it is perhaps surprising that more people are turning to meditation. For all the activity of modern society, many still feel a fundamental need for silence inner peace, and a moment of reflection. Meditation can reduce stress and help us relax, it can also give us a lot more.
These are some of the benefits that daily meditation can give us.
Reduced Stress
Meditation helps to reduce stress by teaching us to switch off from the worries that can plague us through the day. Meditation is an opportunity to spend time by ourselves, without feeling at the beck and call of others. Spending 15 minutes in quietening the mind and focusing on the present moment, makes us more relaxed and effective decision makers.
Happiness and Peace of Mind
Is there anybody who does not, in some way, seek after happiness? Meditation takes us to the source of happiness, which is to be found in our own peace of mind. If we have no peace of mind and are constantly attacked by negative thoughts, happiness will remain elusive, no matter how successful we are on an outer plane. It is perhaps hard to imagine that happiness can occur from the simple act of being. However, if we can meditate with a still mind, we will discover an unexpected source of happiness within our own self. Meditation shows us that happiness is not dependent on outer circumstances, but on our inner attitude.
Health Benefits
Numerous studies have shown that meditation has health benefits. Many of these benefits are related to the decrease in stress that occurs through meditation. For example, with lower levels of stress and anxiety, the probability of heart disease diminishes significantly. .
This is not to say meditation guarantees you good health. But, there is a growing awareness of the link between our state of mind and physical health. Quite often physical ailments are symptoms of inner turmoil. Meditation can give us peace of mind, and this can be a helpful step in avoiding many stress related ailments. Meditation has also been shown to relive pain associated with certain illnesses.
Discovering the Purpose of Life.
If you are satisfied with your current life. If you feel perfect contentment and happiness then, at the moment, meditation is not necessary. However, if you feel empty inside; if you aspire to know more about the nature of existence and life, then meditation can be of great help. Usually we look for meaning in life through external events and other people. Meditation, however, shows us that we can gain a greater understanding of life through knowing who we are. In meditation we gain a new perspective of life, uncoloured by our own egoistic perspective. For those who wish it, meditation can become a lifelong process of answering the eternal question: “Who am I?”
The benefits of meditation are real, but, it also requires perseverance. It is mistake to expect all these benefits in the first few attempts; the mind takes time to tame. Also, it is difficult to explain all the benefits of meditation, because it involves a state of consciousness that cannot be expressed by words. To appreciate the benefits of meditation it is essential to meditate yourself. Alas, it is not sufficient to just read about it. Start meditating today!
It requires no special equipment, and is not complicated to learn. It can be practiced anywhere, at any given moment, and it is not time consuming (15-20 min. per day is good). Best of all, meditation has NO negative side effects. Bottom line, there is nothing but positive to be gained from it! With such a huge list of benefits, the question you should ask yourself is, “why am I not meditating yet?”
