What is the Benefits of Meditation
Meditation, an exercise recommended for everyone, but especially
those of us with hectic, stressful lifestyles, is defined as an
engagement in contemplation, especially of a spiritual or
devotional nature. Meditation has been shown to relieve stress,
and promote overall good health, by simply reflecting upon our
day, and finding happiness within ourselves. This and other mind
exercises help us to keep our mind fit, and functioning at top
performance levels. But up until the last twenty years,
meditation was something the western world new little about. Is
it necessary for our health? Or have we just come up with a new
fad, to fill up the empty hours of our day?
Our mind has varying levels of operation, known as brainwaves.
As we pass through the different stages of our day, we enter
various stages of brain wave activity. The brain uses this tool
as one way to allow us time to rest our busy mind, and cope with
all the pieces of information we've received, a way to kind of
"mind file" for the day.
Modern alternative medicine and holistic healers believe in the
power of the energy that flows through our bodies; this energy
radiates from our mind as well. It is believed to be the chief
from of transportation for our body's nervous system to carry
out communication. Breathing techniques, music, aromas, and
candle therapy are all ways we utilize the opportunities to
reflect on our day, allow our mind to rest and replenish itself
for further use. But are these methods keeping us mentally fit?
Yes, it does help to keep us mentally fit. The great benefit in
meditation, however, the mind's ability to transform itself into
a vehicle for higher awareness.
Meditation is a
way for us to become aware of the fact that
there is more to our being than just our physical activity. We
have so much more potential locked away in our mind, resources
that we never tap into until we have the chance to quiet the
mind, quiet our surroundings and open the door to the
possibilities we don't examine on a day to day basis.
In our meditative state, thoughts that never have the
opportunity to be heard during the bustle of the day are
afforded the opportunity to come forward and be heard. Every
step that we take is a step in some direction for our life. The
opportunity to set our own destiny, develop our manifestation of
what we believe our life should be, is the opportunity
meditation provides. Every action we've ever taken started as a
thought. The thought was then brought into reality by our action
on that thought. So are we able to produce new thoughts and new
possibilities, in this time of quiet reflection.
It is in these small moments of creativity and higher conscious
operation that our mind heals itself from the stresses of the
everyday activities, and maintains a real level of healthy
operation. Our mind is like our body, we don't have to look
unhealthy to be unhealthy, and sooner or later, the illnesses
show.
