The Many Benefits of Meditation

A practice that I got into quite some time ago now at the time quite literally made a huge difference to how I was feeling at the particular time, I had never tried meditation previous to this although I had heard people talk about it quite frequently but never really thought to try it.

Then one day when I was reading somebody’s blog they said that they listened to new age music while they meditated this was something at the time I never even considered or thought about doing, so I thought I would see what all the fuss was about.

So I found some music which was quite relaxing which you were supposed to use during meditation, and went to sit somewhere quiet with my portable CD player and headphones and listened to the music with my eyes closed.

After doing this for quite a few days I noticed there was a big difference in how I felt, because at the time I was going through a bit of a dark period in my mind, and the more I did it the better I tended to feel it was if somebody had lifted a great big weight off my shoulders.

At the time when I was just starting to get into meditation I was also reading a book by Jack Canfield called the success principles, and one day was flicking through the book and happen to find a passage about somebody who had been listening to brainwave CDs, which are supposed to greatly enhance and speed the process up of how deep you go when you meditate.

It can take many years to be able to meditate like some monks to whom go very deep when there meditating, but the brainwave CD’s

help you get into this state much quicker than it would normally take say for instance if you were meditating the same as a monk would.

So I got hold of some brainwave CD’s off of eBay and began to use them every day sometimes even twice a day, the way I felt was just amazing my levels of focus went through the roof and that is something I have always struggled with really my whole life.

Ideas about particular things I wouldn’t of thought of before just came from nowhere overall I just felt a do a lot better about everything as a whole. And and here are some of the many benefits of meditation there may be more but these are the ones that I am aware of.

• It can help reduce anxiety as it reduces the amount of lactate in your bloodstream
• It will help build your self-confidence
• Will help in the production of serotonin which is the brains feelgood chemical, when you are low in this particular chemical within your brain, it can cause you to have headaches and also suffer from depression.
• Can help with blood pressure
• Helps improve concentration and focus and encourages creativity.
• Can help with weight loss if that is something that you need help with.

So for the meager time investment of 30 minutes a day you can have all these benefits I myself think it is well worth the investment for the benefits that you get back, I have only just started meditating again myself for reasons which I don’t particular want to go into. But needless to say I am going to hopefully continue with it merely because of all the benefits I reaped from it last time when I practiced it regularly.
