10 Reasons to Begin Daily Meditation Practice
Meditation is an art that has been around since the dawn of the
age of man. This is not a statement to be brushed over. After all, many many
things about mankind have changed over time, but the profound art of meditation
is something we have clung on to dearly. This is because there is no substitute
for meditation. Nothing else, single handedly, bestows the many wonderful
blessings that meditation brings... in fact nothing else even comes close.
In this article I will outline the top 10 benefits that meditation brings and
hopefully it will inspire all to learn and practice this timeless art.
1. Enlightenment: This is the one ultimate purpose of meditation. To help you
discover the True Non-Dual Nature of Reality. To make you realize that your True
Self is Divine and One with God.
2. Peace & Tranquility: The mind of one who meditates is like the easy,
leisurely flow of the Ganges River, as compared to the ordinary mind, which is
like Niagara Falls. In other words your mind is at peace, deeply silent and so
you are at peace.
3. Wisdom: Meditation opens up the channels of communication between all levels
of your being. What this means is that you have access now to the guidance that
is coming directly from your Divine Self. This link gives rise to the flow of
intuition and wisdom.
4. Joy & Happiness: Meditation strips away the layers of false identity that
mask your True Self from shinning through. Once you eliminate these false egos
and stop catering to their nonsense you can reside in your True Nature. This
brings forth joy and happiness as it allows you to be at ease with life,
existence and yourself.
5. Love & Compassion: As meditation reveals to you the interconnectedness of
all humanity a great sense of compassion and love will spontaneously emerge.
Knowing that deep within we are all divine in nature will change the way you
view the apparent differences you see in others. This will also dramatically
improve your relationships both intimate and casual.
6. Stress Reduction & Good Health: This goes hand in hand. As meditation
teaches you the art of living in the present moment, anxiety and worry fade more
and more into the background. This state of relaxed awareness is most
beneficial, to not only helping the body heal itself, but also for preventing
illness and disease by eliminating the poison of stress.
7. Improved Brain Function: All serious meditators know how much their brain
function has been enhanced by meditation. Now, empirical studies every day are
indicating this link. Meditation will undoubtedly increase your awareness and
will significantly increase your intelligence.
8. Discover Your Purpose & Gifts: As you start to drop those aspects of you
that are artificial and pretentious you will get a chance to see the real you.
The parts that are not put on but are natural. This will give you insight into
who you really are and what you really love in life. That is the secret of
mastering the art of living and discovering your true talents, gifts and
purpose. That which you love, you do for its own sake without the need for
reward of accolades. Once this is discovered, life can be lived with passion,
zeal and independence.
9. Yogic and Psychic Powers: We currently use only about 10% of our brain
capacity. The practice of Yoga and Meditation awakens those regions of the Brain
that normally lie dormant. When these areas of the brain are activated the
powers they hold are unleashed. Such powers, used wisely, can be of benefit to
others and of help to you in making progress on the spiritual path.
10. Magnificence: Charisma, Confidence, Courage, Character and Balance are all
brought about by meditation. This leads to an individual who is immensely
charming and magnetic. Best word I could think of to describe the collective
affects of these personality improvements was Magnificent. Meditation will let
your magnificence shine through.
