The Importance of Meditation for Companies

The War on Stress
It is no secret that we are in an escalating war with distraction and stress. Our brilliantly designed, addictive devices are not helping. A comedian friend of mine calls them, ‘weapons of mass distraction’. Oh, and we’re in the midst of an extended global pandemic… Even before this, 85% of doctor visits were stress-related. Now we desperately need an alternative to medications or non-prescribed drugs. We really need to learn how to calm ourselves down.
Enter meditation. That’s what it does. It calms the mind. Hence the popular meditation app Calm! (To be clear, I'm not promoting this product. In fact, they are my, apparently invincible, competition. I've created my own app: BlissTimer, which of course is way better!) ??
This colorized fMRI scan image shows how blood flow, detected through heat, in the brain diminishes after just 10 minutes of meditation. That’s why meditators are so cool! After all, who wants to be a hothead? OK, that was pretty terrible, but I think it’s quite revealing how our popular figures of speech reflect our intuitive sense of the need to keep a cool head when making decisions.
How important is making clear decisions for your work?
Cognitive Science and Meditation:?This brain scan is just a tiny part of a huge and growing body of meditation research being conducted in universities all over the world, validating the multiple benefits of contemplative practices like meditation.
Here are just a few of the positive outcomes reported from the research:
With all these benefits, it’s no wonder that executives and professionals everywhere are adopting these techniques.
How about you?
Is your team stressed or anxious or easily distracted? Would your company benefit from a clearer-minded, more focused workforce??

4 年I agree with you, Dada. As a promotor of meditation and meditation techniques myself, especially in my personal life, I feel there has never been a better time to step into this practice. I know it’s saved me throughout my life, especially in these times. Thank you for sharing your own awareness and for your willingness to teach what you know! ?? ??
