When it comes to achieving total wellness, there are many factors to consider, but most of us don’t think of meditation as being important in maintaining physical vitality. It’s time to pay attention to the many scientists who have been reporting fascinating research on meditation and how it benefits the brain.
Just be, and watch . Being is not doing, and watching is also not doing. You sit silently doing nothing, witnessing whatsoever is happening. Thoughts will be moving in your mind; your body may be feeling some tension somewhere, you may have a migraine. Just be a witness. Don’t be identified with it. Watch, be a watcher on the hills, and everything else is happening in the valley. It is a knack, not an art.
The wonderful thing about meditation is that anybody can do it. Contrary to popular belief there is no right or wrong way to practice it. It is an innate expression of the soul, and can be done anywhere, anytime, any environment, whilst engaged in anything. It can happen whilst walking in the woods, washing the laundry, swimming in the ocean, dancing, singing, chopping wood, surfing, running, sitting in a busy airport waiting for your plane…
Even in the deepest darkest depths of human emotional experience, when one really goes into the darkness deeply, you will find illumination. It is everywhere you seek it, always hidden in plain sight. Whether you are chanting a mantra or explaining to the landlord why you do not have the rent, every act is holy when done consciously with conscious intent.
When we meditate, we train ourselves to wake up from our dream state again and again. By learning how to meditate, we are practicing how to watch our mind without flinching or running away so as to gain a better understanding of the stories that make us feel and act the way we do. Knowing the stories that power our automatic behaviors and deepest feelings will allow us to release these misconceptions from our inner system. And finally, without the layers of stories filtering us from reality, we uncover our true self and gain true freedom.

Meditation brings the body into a state of focus and concentration. The more you meditate, the closer you will get to attaining not only physical relief, but also spiritual connection. That isn’t to say you must meditate to be spiritual, but it does help bring you closer to reaching your higher Self. Through meditation many people find peace of mind and happiness.
Meditation is extremely powerful for catalysing this shift to take place. As we go inwards, increasingly we’re confronting the disharmonious disordering energy that we have inside or that we’ve soaked up from our dense environment. But here’s the thing, once you shine the spotlight of the inner Seer onto this chaotic energy, it simply begins to unwind itself restoring balance and peace which then radiates outwards…
