As someone who has experienced the restorative power of meditation, I can attest to its ability to bring clarity of thought and reflection. In our busy and demanding lives, it's easy to lose touch with our inner selves and to become overwhelmed by the noise and distractions of the world. But by taking the time to meditate, to simply be present with our thoughts and feelings, we can cultivate a deeper sense of peace and calm.
Meditation is restful in a way that few other activities can be. By focusing on our breath and allowing our thoughts to come and go without judgment, we give ourselves permission to simply be. In this state of restful awareness, we can let go of the stress and worries of the day and connect with a deeper sense of inner peace.
But meditation is not just about relaxation; it's also about reflection. By taking the time to sit with our thoughts and feelings, we can gain greater insight into ourselves and our lives. We can reflect on our goals, our values, and our relationships, and we can identify areas where we need to make changes or improvements.

Research has shown that regular meditation can improve cognitive function, increase emotional regulation, and even lower blood pressure and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. By allowing ourselves to simply be present with our thoughts and feelings, we can tap into a deeper sense of inner peace and clarity.
So I urge you, my fellow LinkedIn users, to take some time today to meditate. To sit in silence, to focus on your breath, and to connect with your inner self. Whether it's for five minutes or an hour, make space in your busy schedule for stillness and contemplation. Your mind and body will thank you.

1 年Thank you for this Anuj. With MH Awarness month I am trying to focus on taking care of my mental health and taking the time to prioritize it. Learning to meditate has always been a difficult struggle for me BUT after reading other's comments of starting with three minutes and then increasing time or as Anh(Ann) mentioned "walking meditation", I think I can give meditation a good try this month. The key is to find what works best for me and to make it a regular part of my life. It's important for us all to remember to be kind to ourselves and take it one step at a time.

1 年Anuj so glad to see that it works for you, for me not so much (tooo much noise in my brain) lol. But it is about finding what works, I have found that having my hands active with something that does not require my thought process helps me slow down.. maybe someday I’ll get to the point of stillness.

1 年Thank you for your article on meditation Anuj Kainth. I used to do walking meditation and it helps me be with nature and clear my mind, taking a break from electronics and sometimes bring idea to mind or resolve an issue while I walk and meditate.
