Unlock the Power of Your Mind — How Meditation Can Change Your Life Forever

As human beings, we have an incredible power that enables us to think, reason, imagine, and create and what's that: the power of our mind. It can ultimately shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions that affect our life. Our minds can generate new ideas, enhance creativity, and solve complex problems. But if stress and anxiety always surrounded your mind then you are unable to do all these things. All these are the symptoms when your mind state is low.

Then what to do in such a situation? Don’t worry! The solution to your problem is Meditation. Meditation is not just a process. Meditation has the power to concentrate your mind. It is the practice to train your mind to focus and quiet the noise around you. The process of Meditation: Breathe In, Breathe Out. Deep Thinking, Slow Process. Calm Mind, Ease Things. Smile Heart, Release Anxiety. Meditation means taking your mind out of the trap of thoughts and concentrating is called Meditation.

Meditation relaxes you in a stressful lifestyle. Wherever our senses get lethargic then Meditation is the only way to enhance our consciousness. Research shows that individuals who practice Meditation daily have strong mindsets and are more likely to achieve their goals and experience better health outcomes.

Brief History

Some people think that Meditation is related to Mahatma Buddha, but the truth is Meditation has been started in our country even before that. Meditation is mentioned in Vedas before 1500 B.C. so it is certain that the history of Meditation is related to India. Buddhism has played a vital role in its propagation. Apart from India, Meditation has become popular in Western Countries also.

My Meditation Learnings

1. It is ok to make mistakes for the first time

When I started practicing both Yoga and Meditation, I used to do many mistakes and open my eyes again and again while doing Meditation. While meditating, various thoughts used to come into my mind and it is also natural because you are not able to focus on starting anything for the first time, this is a normal thing, do not let this thing come to your mind. Make mistakes, learn from them, and move forward.

2. Embrace yourself the way you are

First of all, stop blaming yourself for whatever is happening to you. I think the biggest problem with most women is blaming themselves for everything wrong. Because the so-called society has put this burden on women that they have to take care of their kids and family. This burden is sometimes so terrible that if women are unable to live up to everyone’s expectations, then they become victims of depression. Don’t try to be a Superwoman, you are a human being, not a robot, who works tirelessly. Accept yourself as you are, then see how much happier life will be and you won’t have to bear unnecessary burdens on your shoulders.

3. Step out of your comfort zone and embrace the world

Meditation has taught me how to step out of my comfort zone and deal with the outer world. I traveled to a different city and enjoyed happy moments. I was the person who couldn’t go anywhere without family but now, I am a person who can go anywhere without anyone. All thanks to Meditation who taught me to trust myself.

4. Reduction of Stress

My stress level started reducing gradually with daily practice. I saw myself turning into a calmer person, whose mind used to be filled with negativity some couple of months ago. I started being happy and started adoring myself.

5. Boosting Creativity

Reading novels has always fascinated me and due to this habit, I did not know when writing gave birth to a writer in me. But depression killed the writer in me. I didn’t feel like doing anything, even writing — which was my lifeline, which was my devotion. But after practicing Meditation, creativity was born in me again and I became a better version of myself. My creative thinking improved, and I started to write again.

Tips For a Successful Meditation

• You should not practice in one go. Start with a few minutes so that you can gradually use to it and after that, you can increase your timing.
• Consistency is essential to do any work and the same applies to Meditation. You did it one day, another day you left it, you can never meditate like this.
• While practicing Meditation you must be patient as in a day you can’t get results. Meditation practice takes time.
• Desire, anger, noise, sleepiness, doubts, irritation, etc. are some common obstacles in Meditation that you need to overcome, and which can be defeated only by daily practice.
• You won’t get results in one day, so drop this idea as soon as possible. Don’t Put Pressure on yourself to obtain results.
• Practice Mindfulness whenever you want to spend some quality time with yourself.
