I’ve tried meditation on and off a few times over the course of my life, but recently I’ve wanted to make a more concentrated effort at a long-term practice. I’d really like to meditate daily. I’m going to be sharing my experiences here, but to kick things off, I wanted to share some of the benefits of meditation that I’ve seen during my research. Check out these claims:
- Stay healthier
- Sharpen mental focus
- Gain more power over your emotions
- Improved concentration
- Less bothered by little things
- Knowledge of self
- Leave all your worries behind with a daily mental vacation
- Calms down your restless thinking
- Frees your mind from negative thinking
- Understand things faster
- Become more patient
- Become more tolerant
- Become more considerate
- Increase your inner strength
- Understand who you really are
- Reduce stress
- Decrease muscle tension
- Reduce anxiety
- Enhances energy
- Builds Confidence
- Helps living in the present moment
- Develop will power

What’s most interesting to me is that there are different types of mediation. The most popular one is meditating by clearing your mind, but there are also focused, thoughtful meditations. I’m going to give several different types a try in order to see what works best for me.
Have you ever tried meditating? What do you think about this list of benefits? Let us know in the comments.
dear reading mind of jjsylvia IV…
i have started out thirtyfive years ago on zen meditation and received full training and teaching xperience…
meditation in whatever school is a spiritual endeavour and the progress in the bodymindheart system is best supervised under the guidance of a master person and a group bonding since realms of being are touched and opened with which an individual gets into danger zones…
besides all these thirtythree benefits it is simply a decluttering and defragmenting process of pastpresentfuture…
in these present turbulent globally deranging times it is a must for survival in dignity…
good silence time with a smile from hewesufa
