As we all know and we all have observed that People who
meditate are much happier and healthier than everyone else. They have greatly
extended their life spans, too. It is also used as an aid to speeding up
learning programs and for solving problems in nuclear and atomic physics. There
just seems to be no end to the great benefits of meditation. There have been
numerous studies showing that meditation dramatically reduces, and even
reverses disease of all type including Cancer. Now question would be HOW?
Meditation can lower your oxygen consumption and it can
even assist in decreasing your respiratory rate, which can help with many
different types of lung conditions as well as relaxation. It can also be very
helpful for heart patients as it helps to increase the patient’s exercise
tolerance, making their muscles and heart stronger. Using mediation daily can
help you to build your immune system as it increases the activity of the
natural-killer cells that kills the bacteria and cancer cells and it can also reduce
your chances of catching viruses as it lowers your emotional distress.
Depression could also be dodged with Meditation because
silence is very nourishing to the body and it helps the cells heal themselves
naturally. So any chemical imbalance in the body can be rectified simply by
practicing inner silence. Meditation allows your attention to become free of
the stream of thinking. This will allow your negative thoughts to lose momentum
and subside eventually. Consciousness has the power to transmute confusion to
clarity, negative thoughts to positive thoughts and restlessness to calm.
Meditation is a great way to bring consciousness of your being into activeness,
which is inherently a very powerful state. Meditation brings in “space” in the
area of a noisy mind. This space of silence allows intelligence to flow
through. One is amazed at how solutions can make themselves evident when one
allows some silence to come into the noise of the mind. It can increase the
vibration of your energy field and help you attract positive thoughts and
feelings. Consciousness, or silent awareness, has a nourishing effect on the
body and automatically hikes your vibration.
The bottom line is that meditation helps bring about a
conscious awareness into the area of noise dominated mind. The energy of
silence can easily counteract the negative thoughts and emotions. Also,
meditation is considered to be healthy for the body because it has the capacity
to bring about a balance by rejuvenating the energy field of your being.
Many women find it very beneficial as meditation can help
out to reduce the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), reducing the tension
and emotional stress that come with a woman’s period. Women who are with child
can benefits greatly as well, as meditation can help the mother-to-be to get in
tune with their unborn child. This can also aid the new mother after childbirth
to refocus themselves and make sense of the thoughts that come with the events
of childbirth and being new to motherhood.
The benefits of meditation don‘t stop there. Studies also
show that experienced mediators those who are able to achieve the deepest
levels of meditative states are able to tap into dormant levels of brain
function they never thought possible levels of function that exist in each and
every one of us resulting in increased intelligence and moving us closer to
answering life's mysterious questions. Upon closer examination of mediator’s
brains, they consistently show to function at a superior level than the average
person‘s on every single test, measurement, and assessment generated among the
scientific community. In fact, if you do your homework, you'll discover that
many of history's greatest inventors, philosophers, and scientists received
their revolutionary, future changing ideas during their daily meditation
sessions.
One of the reasons mediators experience greater levels of
happiness and health is because meditation significantly increases the brain's
production of several euphoric chemicals the same chemicals that flow through
your bloodstream on those days when you've never felt better. Even more,
meditation allows these euphoric brain chemicals to be produced constantly.
Mediators also sleep much better than those who don‘t
meditate. As a matter of fact, they have shown to need fewer hours of sleep
every night because their minds and bodies are completely refreshed and
rejuvenated during their highly pleasurable meditation sessions. Meditation is
many times more powerful than sleep.
Meditation is also known for providing its practitioners
with superior mental and emotional health; it rids our minds of subconscious
layers of anger, depression, anxiety, fear, phobias, and sadness, and produces
a perfect mental and emotional balance. There are many ways to commune with the
divine in yourself, one of the first ways that we can practice Ishvarapranidhana
is by putting aside some time each day, even a few minutes, to avail ourselves
of an intelligence that is greater than our own." In the Yoga Sutras,
meditation is dealt where it states, One-wontedness is steadfastness of the
mind. Unbroken continuation of that mental ability is meditation. That same
meditation when there is only consciousness of the object of meditation and not
of the mind is realization.
People who meditate are known to have more friends,
maintain healthier relationships, and feel a great deal more satisfied and
content with their lives. With all of the dramatic improvements meditation can
bring to our lives, why isn't everyone doing it?
Well, for one, traditional methods of
meditation often take a considerable amount of time and effort every single
day. And it sometimes takes years, even decades; of practice before you are
able to reach the deeper states of meditation required to achieve life
transforming results. The learning process can also sometimes be boring and
feel like a chore. As with everything else, only those who are extremely
dedicated, disciplined, and committed are able to attain the life enhancing
benefits that meditation has to offer. If you're like most people, you don't
have hours upon hours to commit to daily meditation. And the last thing you
want to do is spend years practicing before you get anything back in
return. But what would you say if I told you that with just a press of a
button, you could reach the same deep meditative states as those with decades
of experience? And get the same results in a matter of days and weeks, plus a
host of other life—enhancing benefits? You would all love it and would want to
have that button. I wish we could have such buttons in life, for happiness,
contentment, love, trust and loyalty. But no buttons yet and no real life
"Emoticons" yet :) but honestly start with 3 minutes of meditation
daily and see how it helps and take it from there. When I started writing this
post, I didn’t know I would write so much but now I am ended up doing so. I
started listening to Nusrat Fateh Ali's Qawali, "Yeah Jo Halka Halka
Saroor Hay", sung live and it’s an extended version, for 1 hr 8 Mins, I
got so much engrossed into the tranz of the song and just couldn’t stop
writing, and heard the qawali for almost 2 times (if anyone want the link for
this qawali, check below). It’s almost Dawn. I hope you guys take time out to
read this lengthy piece. Good Morning wishing you all for another SUPER SUNFUL
SUNDAY
