How Meditation Changed My Life
In simple words, mediation is sitting alone and doing nothing. How ironic it is to benefit from such a laid-back activity in life.Probably, this is what comes to your mind when you hear the word meditation. This exactly makes meditation one of the most difficult things to do.We can’t sit for a while doing absolutely anything. We are conditioned to ‘do ‘and ‘keep doing ‘. We all want change. We want to change and become a better version of ourselves, or we want to change and become like someone else.This is not a bad idea. Change is the only reality. What else can be a better tool than meditation to help us change? I cannot think of anything else.Meditation and Yoga are now globally trending as the best tools for self-help and mental health. Self-help books almost always include a chapter on meditation. All spiritual masters across the world had agreed upon this one single fact.You need to sit alone, observe your thoughts, and breathe at least for a few minutes during the day. They all ask you to look within to find your answers. At the same time, we are conditioned to look outside to find everything.Our five senses are trained to gather information from the external world. What we find outside is a limited resource. We cannot find everlasting happiness with the material world outside of us.Did the money ever bring us happiness? What about that travel you did with your sweetheart to an exotic island? Great sex, delicious food?Nothing satisfied you! You went mountaineering and climbed on top of the Everest … Finally, did that achievement make you the happiest person on earth? Probably not. You are still craving for happiness and inner peace.
