Power Of Mediation

As we leave our homes or belongings untidy and unmaintained for prolonged periods of time, they become dirty, grimy, dusty, and aren’t very pleasant to look at or be around.Now, imagine your body as an untidy room or belonging. Instead of dirt, grime, and clutter, however, you experience anxiety, stress, depression, and negative thoughts. We can pick these up from all sorts of locations, including things we see on TV or on the news, from people at work, from friends and family members, from stressful situations, and just about everywhere else in the world today. Rather than stewing over these situations, surroundings, and people, meditation teaches us to simply release the negativity. It won’t remove those feelings, but it does give us tools to be able to cope with them in a more effective way. One great benefit of o meditation is that it helps you y vastly improve your concentration le levels, which in tu turn will help make you far more producti tive. When you meditate, you clear your mind of distractions and instead fo focus on the act of mediating itself. Then a after meditation, you’re better able to focus on what’s right in front of you instead of getting caught up in your thoughts, fears, and worries. Say, for example, you drop your dinner plate on the kitchen floor and have to then clean it up. Rather than shouting, swearing, and stewing over the fact that you made a small mess, meditation teaches us to not get bothered by smaller things. Instead of feeling angry and sorry for ourselves, we simply grab a cloth and broom, clean up the mess, and get ourselves more food, without getting worked up about it. Meditation teaches us to not sweat the small things and helps to really put things into perspective. There are people out there dealing with overwhelming problems. In the grand scheme of things, a little mess isn’t that big of a deal.
