Why Meditation

Why Meditate?
By Remez Sasson

Most people experience stress and tension on a daily basis. There are demands at work, at school and in relationships, and there is rush and hectic pace, which bring tiredness and unhappiness, impatience and frustration. All this harms the body, the mind and the quality of life.

One needs a way to release all this tension and stress. What you need is some relaxation, to get away from the stress, tension and hectic way of life. This why you need a vacation every now and then, but few are in a position to take a vacation whenever they desire or have the money to pay for one.

When you meditate, just like in vacation, you leave everything behind. Meditation releases the stress and tension from your mind and from your body, makes you calmer and more focused, and helps you overcome anxiety and worry and gain inner peace and balance.

Meditation can also help you understand the way the mind works, calm down your restless thinking, and allow you to gain mastery over your mind. It will also enable you to free yourself from negative thinking, worries and unhappiness.

Meditation improves the ability to focus the mind, think more clearly and understand faster what you learn. It also enhances your intuition and develops the ability for constructive and creative thinking. It will also make you more patient, tolerant and considerate, and increase your inner strength.

In addtion to what has been said, meditation is also a method of inner training, which can get you closer to knowing who you really are, and to spiritual awakening.
