Discover the Magic of Meditation
Have you ever wondered what happens when you take a moment to quieten your mind? For me, it’s something magical, sacred and wordless. However, it wasn’t always easy, especially in the beginning.
The Benefits of Meditation
When we make time to meditate and quieten our mind’s chatter, several positive changes occur:
- We make space within: Creating inner space allows for personal growth and shows us how our mind’s voice is mostly not helpful! This article explains the science behind meditation.
- We expand: Our perspective shifts and broadens and we start seeing things in a more positive light.
- Anxieties and worries fade: Our concerns diminish – it’s super helpful for anxious types (guilty!). This article explains it a bit more.
- Our breath softens and slows: We breathe more deeply and calmly, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which tells our body to relax and shift away from ‘fight or flight’ mode.
- Our body relaxes: Tension melts away. Read this Mayo Clinic article to understand what actually happens.
Meditation is called a ‘practice’ for a reason—it becomes easier with time. Every day, my meditation looks different depending on the day, energy levels and life responsibilities. It’s about letting go of outcomes and being present with what’s there—a valuable lesson in itself.
New Possibilities Open Up
Making space within through meditation invites new possibilities and a higher vibration of energy. We move away from the mind’s chatter and step into our heart space, where we can connect to our soul’s guidance – also called intuition.
Enhancing Intuition and Positivity
When we become more in touch with our heart, we can hear our intuition more clearly. This leads to:
- Better decision-making: We start making choices that align with our true selves. This article explains how.
- Increased positivity: Problems seem smaller, and solutions become more aligned and attuned.
My Personal Meditation Journey
I’ve maintained a regular meditation practice for almost 30 years, and it has profoundly improved my life. There are too many benefits to list here, but suffice it to say, meditation has been transformative for me.
Meditation as a Daily Practice
Meditation is called a ‘practice’ for a reason—it becomes easier with time. Every day, my meditation looks different depending on the day, energy levels and life responsibilities. It’s about letting go of outcomes and being present with what’s there—a valuable lesson in itself.
Meditation is so integrated into my life that I don’t think about fitting it into my day; it’s simply a part of it. Because it’s such a help, I look forward to my ‘cushion time’.
