Meditation has been practised in some countries for thousand of years and it’s handed down generation after generation. It’s great benefits are now proven scientifically.
But what is meditation?
Meditation is contemplation, mindful thinking,reflection, relaxing and the concentration in that very moment. Meditation is the art of finding that inner peace by using simple methods of calming and stabilising your mind.
Meditation has been turned into a multi-million pound business these days and everyone use different forms and techniques of meditation. I am only going to mention mantra meditation. Mantra meditation is known to come from Hinduism and Buddhism and is highly effective in terms of wellbeing and happiness.
According to mantra experts, to meditate you sit comfortably and shut your eyes.Then you start repeating a word or short phrase called mantra. Your mantra could be one of words: love, peace, calm or gentle. You keep repeating it and your muscles will start relaxing. It could start with 5 minutes a day but you get best results by meditating for 20 minutes a day. It diminishes stress and increase your happiness.
What are the benefits of Meditation?

Scientific studies reveal that practising regular meditation, increase your intellectual abilities. The results have been proven in different types of people from students by “getting smarter” and performing better graduation rates to business people increasing their leadership skills and getting better on decision-making.

2. Improve your general health.

I tried to practice meditation but I couldn’t. Yet a really true post. It is worth doing meditation. We can also try being alone and spend time with yourself and analyzing things while writing or talking to yourself. I will try once again to meditate as you directed. Thank you. 🙂
