Benefits of Meditation

Mediation is a broad topic and must be understood and practiced with proper step-by-step guidance.

Since we naturally want to invest in something that will give us good returns, I have decided to write a series of posts on the benefits of meditation. Subsequent posts will explore the hows and whys of meditation. Here are some benefits of daily mediation:

•Good health: It is a proven fact that people who meditate regularly visit doctors much less often than those who don't practice meditation.

•Prevents senility: After the age of 40, our brain cells die off at a rate of 100,000 per day. Regular meditation helps to reduce this rate, slowing the deterioration of body and mind associated with old age.

•Reduce sleep hours: It's always the quality of sleep that matters, and not the quantity. With regular meditation, your sleep hours would be reduced, yet you would be energized and active like never before. Advanced meditators can even sleep for just three hours and still feel deep peace and activeness.

•Stress level reduction: Meditation greatly reduces stress levels and also strengthens the nervous system.

•Decline in negative thoughts and emotions: With meditation, you will develop very sharp senses. This will reduce your negative thoughts because then you will be able to more clearly distinguish between the positive and the negative. Ultimately, then, choosing the positive.

•Fast action: You will develop strong willpower and a sharp memory. What used to take five hours before will take only around two hours. Your decisions will be very fast and highly accurate.

•Healthy relationships: You will develop a deep sense of love and understanding with your partner, and other relations will be strengthened.

•Magnetic personality: A person who meditates regularly possesses a very attractive personality. Other people get attracted to him or her for the reasons even they are unaware of.

•No more frustrations: The situations that used to make you upset or frustrated will no longer make you feel so. You will realize the stupidity of indulging in such minor matters.

•Change in outlook: Once you meditate regularly for a month or so, other people will start asking you what's keeping you so peaceful and happy. They will be surprised to look at your sudden growth in all aspects of life.

These benefits are just the tip of the iceberg. Regular meditation will give you amazing success in whatever field you choose. A time will come when you will realize that it's even more important than everything you have been doing because with meditation, you will do all your work with much ease.

All the best!
