5 benefits of meditation
To meditate means to go inside, to read one’s character and one’s own emotions. It means immersing oneself with the mind’s eye towards one’s essence. Doing it consistently means securing many benefits and we see together only some of the many.
Calm and patience
Whoever meditates regularly gets some mental stillness that is carried in daily actions. The approach to the relationships and reactions of others becomes different. We do not depend on what others think and say but we make the most of our reservoir of authentic emotions and we are able to communicate in a true and calm way. Slowly we realize that external conditions do not affect us, we can observe them but without fully “drowning” ourselves.
New eyes every day
Over the course of the days we face various experiences and various episodes or some material matters that must be carried forward step by step. Meditation teaches us to conduct them effectively and practically, but with a sense of construction that helps us maintain one solid and positive mind. For example, if we thought we were not very daring or not very organized in the past, meditation allows us to re-evaluate our way of dealing with everything. We look at ourselves in a different way in the mirror and, day after day, smiling at the reflection becomes naturally and gradually possible.
Better relationship with your body
The perception we have of ourselves changes with time and goes through various phases. Meditation manages to make us accept ours physical aspect and to love him in the best way. This is due to the fact that we become sensitive in a different way and we begin to understand that much of our beauty lies in our thoughts and our perception. When you buy a quiet trend, it also improves posture and the way in which the back is managed, the gait, the general structure of the body. Meditation also helps to support the pains from physical injury or those disorders related to depression or anxiety that generate psychophysical imbalances.
Detachment
Going to understand ourselves in a profound way, we manage to create a certain detachment also with respect to the results and actions of other people. What is done outside of us takes on no greater importance than what exists at the center of our feeling. The things and the words of others hurt us less or in any case we know when to explain to the other person that we have reached a limit. Our words are weighted and we understand better what is going through us, moment by moment.
Mental openness
The moment you approach meditation you see it better incessant flow of one’s thoughts. Improve memory, concentration. We make decisions quickly and often these decisions turn out to be right as in contact with our feelings. We also find relevant creative solutions and build bridges with memories that make us feel better. Increases strength and open-mindedness, including a tendency not to give in to distractions. We also understand the visions of others better, we do not fix ourselves on our own and we become somehow “capacious”.
How to approach meditation
If you have never meditated, a great way is to buy a candle. The candle lights you from within and makes you enter the dimension of the ritual. Simply, at a time when you are sure you will not be disturbed, turn it on and look at it, then close your eyes and surrender to your breaths, pay attention to the teaching that each breath and each inhale generates. You can put an alarm on your phone or activate one specifically to give you a time; alternatively, you can also let the meditation go and to reopen your eyes when you hear, but keeping something that creates a discipline and a set time – to be increased gradually if anything – helps a lot at the beginning.
If you know someone who has been practicing for a long time, you may decide to ask them to meditate together. The meditator broadens their field of the heart and this routine, when created together, could facilitate your practice. Great idea too meditate in the woods or on a meadow, preferably near a watercourse. Slowly find your ideal duration and focus on your breath every time you lose focus. If in the early stages it is difficult, you can help yourself with the repetition of a mantra.
Meditation: how many times a week?
Before you want to meditate for a long time every morning and every night, you might want to try meditating two mornings a week for a time that you think is good or devote two evenings to this practice, before or after dinner. Sometimes the sessions will be difficult or will represent real stumbling blocks, but it remains important not to give up. Try to maintain your own center and use this initial phase to explore how complex but also enjoyable it is getting to know each other better.
Wear comfortable clothing, choose a pillow to place over the sacrum, focus on your heartbeat and breaths. Gradually, without forcing but giving himself discipline, the meditation becomes habit which also regulates many bodily functions and keeps your mind on and positive. You can also choose some sound frequencies which help the brain and remove energy blocks. It becomes like an anchor, a protected place to grow and mature.
