The art of meditation has been around since man first started reflecting on the
very nature of his being. This is not something to be taken lightly. Man has gone through many transformations physically, spiritually and socially and one thing
has remained constant in all of our transformations and struggles and that is the unyielding knowledge of the
many benefits of meditation.
The main reason for this is because of the almost magical benefits of meditation. There is no other self disclipline that can bring about
such profound spiritual and physical benefits, which have stood the test of time.
I have included my top seven benefits of meditation and it is through the
understanding and acceptance of these benefits of meditation that I hope you will take the time to learn this
wonderful art for yourself.
1. Peace and Serenity:
Experience true peace and serenity of your mind. As you learn to quiet the thoughts that run rampant through your
mind all day long you will feel peaceful and serene as you focus internally on your true essence.
2. Sense of Enlightenment:
As we peel away the layers of illusion we can sense and understand our true purpose and non-dualistic nature of
being. The sense that we are all connected at a higher level, a connnection to our true self, which is divine and
one with the higher consciousness of the universe, which is God.
3. Happiness: As we
learn to remove our false sense of ego we can eliminate the demands that it makes on us every day. We can become
happier and more at ease as we experience less pressure to live up to the standards that we have created for
ourselves.
4. Love:
Through the unfolding of self we begin a journey of understanding that we are all connected and no separation
exists on any level. It is through this understanding that we can learn to love others as we would love ourselves
because we know that at the deepest levels we are all one.
5. Increased Mind Power:
Meditation has been proven to increase our intelligence and our mind
power through the creation of new neural synaptic pathways. As we recondition our minds to a more blissful
and harmonious way of being we are also strenghtening those areas of the mind which are responsible for our higher
cognitive functioning. It is these new neural pathways that open us up to deeper intellectual and spiritual
breakthroughs. This one benefit of meditaton is more than enough proof that you need to begin a serious study of
this ancient art.
6. Psychic Powers:
It is believed that we all posses a powerful sixth sense. This sixth sense remains dormant in most of us because we
have forgotten how to use it. Through meditation we learn to remove the layers of conditioning that keeps these
hidden powers unrealized. We once again become more tuned in to the subtleties of the world around us and tune into
the vast reservoir of knowledge available to each and every one of us.
7. True Wisdom: As we tune into and open up to our inner
divine self we begin to spontaneously understand all the different levels of knowledge, which have remained hidden.
It is through this connection to our divine self that we receive many intuitive answers and insights.
There are many more benefits of
meditation than what I have presented here. Each of us will experience different meditation benefits as we
becomed emersed in the art of meditation.
Take the time to experience these benefits of meditation for yourself
and learn how to meditate today.
