Meditate?
Meditate..Every mind needs a little idle time. We all need time to focus on one task, instead of multi-tasking all day and night. In reality, the mind does not take complete rest during sleep. Our mind moves from dream to dream for about two hours a night and thus remains in an unstable condition for long.
Our mind needs some vacations for relaxation. Have you ever noticed that when you take a vacation, you return with new ideas, new feelings with a better approach, and establish clear priorities? This is a result of getting some time to relax and reflect on your life. The time lets you think clearly, positively and effectively.
Our trouble stems from being so busy that we lose feel within innerself. We fill our time with too many activities to achieve our task. Companies do this with their employees, but we deliberately do it to ourselves. You have the skills to take control of your own life, and the resolution is as simple as daily meditation sessions.
Meditate? Answers to problems are within us, but many of us do not want to look in depth for fear of what we know ourselves. It 's always easier to blame forces outside of our problems. However, the closure of external distractions and listening to our inner voice is a natural medicine.
Who knows? You can actually find yourself and your identity. This may lead you to make changes and put ideas into practice. All this progress could be made after you make a "meditation" with you. It takes only 20-30 minutes per day for a short meditation session.
There has never been a better time to meditate than right now. People are so "happening" these days, the only time they stop when they are sick. The problem is how people are going to be busy in next 20 years? Now you see why having downtime is so important.
Information on meditate techniques are widely available in books, DVDs and CDs. You do not have to join a monastery, and live by a strict moral code, with a multitude of rules, but you need self-discipline to follow a daily practice.
Meditate?-Curiousity - self-discipline, alone, will keep the masses out of this ancient practice that has survived a battery of tests and modern inspection. It's amazing when you think about the reward of self-control, satisfaction, and care, resulting from the daily practice of meditation.
I have heard all about the benefits of meditation and I know there are many, but for some reason I just can't find the motivation to sit still for that long without going stir-crazy! Any advice?

According to Abraham Hicks the most important thing with meditation is consistency, and everytime even if it doesn't feel like you've quieted your mind completely you've still benefited enormously. Also the mind shouldn't be quieted for more than 15-30 minutes at a time or it will "start to rebel" as it is designed to think and too much time not thinking is unatural.
ReplyDeleteI love meditation - if I didn't sit still for a few minutes every night before bed and practice my breathing, I would never be able to relax!!

Keep on writing and cughgnig away!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the idea of natural medicine.... Do you think that meditation can actually keep us healthier? I guess it makes sense since it reduces stress, and stress can lead to sickness, so it's definitely something to think about.

I had never thought of meditation as a "vacation" for the mind, but now that you've put it that way it does make a lot of sense! I've just recently started meditating every morning and night, and I feel a HUGE difference in my life from when I wasn't. Hopefully more people start doing the same after reading this!! -Lizzy
