Have you ever think of this that why 2 different people react differently to the same situation?

According to science, this happens because of the person’s immune system. People with weak heart have weak immune system and so they easily get nervous.

Even when we are doing something wrong then also we feel diffidence and think twice before doing that. All this kind of feeling makes us weak and so sometimes we are not able to take our decisions or the correct decision.

We all know that there is a quiet man in all of us whom we call our Inner Soul. Inner Soul is that part of us which is always right and always gives the correct edification to us.

It stops us every time we are doing or about to do something wrong or bad.

Does it happen it with you ????

Many times we face such situation in which we are not able to take the decision whereas, our inner soul gives us the clear indications to the right path. By the time we listen to our inner soul, our life is full of happiness.

In such situation to get back in contact with your inner soul, Mindfulness Meditation is the best way to make your happy and peaceful once again.

What is Meditation?

If you are reading this article then you must have a question in your mind i.e. What is Meditation, What are the techniques of Meditation, What are the benefits of Meditation and what not.

To make it simple, take a note that one can achieve anything if they have full control on their mind and soul. In today’s world where we have no time or very less time for our self, no one cares about anything. We are just running a race from pole to pillars, where we all want to achieve everything in a very quick time.

We all want to earn money and for that, we can go to any extent and during that, we lost our health and mental peace. After some time we come to a conclusion that in order to achieve everything we are nowhere and now we lost all our self-belief.

This takes us to depression and many more disorders, then eventually we start in search of peace and find that we can get some peace by doing Mindfulness Meditation or Yoga.

Now when we talk about, what is meditation, the answer is Mindfulness Meditation is not any kind of medicine of tonic through which one can become strong or able to take his decisions.

Meditation is a kind of practice in which a person tries to take his mind or consciousness to a special state of mind. It helps us in gaining or we can say that practicing meditation is itself means gaining your own.

Some people think that thinking of something that gives us peace or satisfaction peace is meditation, whereas, for others, meditation is mental concentration. In actual these techniques are not meditation but these are the substitutes of meditation. It is a state of awareness.

Different explanations of meditation are that it can be done either while sitting at one place or while being active with closed eyes and with relax and calm mind but yet alert. Meditation is the beginning of our inner transformation that takes us to the higher level of awareness.

Many great people in our society like Baba Ramdev and Shri Shri Ravi Shankar and much more has done a study. Just to get the brief about these people and we have read few things about Baba Ramdev, who, we think has made a lot of difference in today’s world by his unique style of Yoga.

He left his home at an early age to do Mindfulness Meditation in the Himalayas and to achieve his inner self. According to him, to do Mindfulness Mediation you need a place where you have no luxury and a lot of peace around.

According to our source, he said, “I am fortunate enough that I was born in a beautiful place in Uttranchal and that this place is called Dev Bhoomi, means the place where God himself spent their life. When I see the comparison between the people in Uttranchal and the people in a metropolitan city like Delhi, Mumbai, etc I found it hard to believe that these are same people created by God.

In the big city, people have no time for themselves, whereas, in a small city like Rudraprayag, Rishikesh, Haridware, etc people have enough time to look after themselves and their neighbours. Their dreams are limited and their demands are achievable so they are less fragile to depression and diseases.”

He further narrated a story and said, “I will tell you a short story. One of my uncles came to Delhi in search of better and luxurious life. As he was young and used to do a lot of hard work like working in the fields, to go up and down for all his small work in the village. As there were no roads at that time so he got fed up and then once he met one of his school days friend who was in Delhi at that time.

He was so impressed with his life, so he decided to move to Delhi with him. After coming to Delhi and with the initial struggle he got a good job and did well thereafter. He opened a shop and now everything seems to be going well and he started enjoying the life. After some time he went back to the Village and asked his friends to come along with him for a better life in the city. After staying there for few days he came back to the city.

In few years he was settled there and expanded his business for a better livelihood. With the passing time, he has no time for himself and he got gray hair, big fat tummy, and many other physical issues because he was busy in expanding his business, he has no time for any exercise or any other physical activities.

Then once he went to a Doctor and he asked him to do all the checkups of his body. He was not even able to walk properly as he has a lot of pain in his legs. When the Doctor’s report came he told him that he has an issue of BP and Diabetes and he needs to have the medicine on daily basis to keep his health in check.

After a period of 20 yrs, he got an invitation for his friend’s son’s wedding. When he reached his village he was not able to walk few steps of the path which he used to, while he was in the village. When he saw his friend he was amazed, they hug each other and he was so surprised to see his friend who was still so healthy and was still well built.

He was not able to say anything at that point of time but he realized that what he has studied in school i.e. Health is Wealth is a factual statement and not a myth. After some time his old friends gathered and they started asking how he is enjoying in the city and how they are still working hard but still not getting anything in the result but he was not able to say anything at that time.”

The point of the story is that people living in the city are just after the wealth and are forgetting their health. They are up to a conclusion that people in today’s world lead a very disturbing life. There is only Guided Meditation and Yoga to overcome their fear and depression.

Many surveys show that in India or in the World people has joined the campus of these great people to overcome their stressed life with the help of Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation.

Meditation is not any kind of spiritual practice, in fact, it is a way to get know your inner voice. With several health benefits of Meditation and guided meditation, one can even rid of many life-threatening diseases also. These benefits of meditation are helpful for even pregnant women also. They too can take advantage of meditation while their pregnancy.

Like a woman starts her life as a daughter, a friend, a lover, wife and then a mother. In all these stages she plays different roles and faces many changes in her life. She deals with many different situations also but while pregnancy she needs more love and attention because of the fluctuation of hormones and mood swings.

At this important time, guided meditation is the best remedy for her. Meditation while pregnancy helps a woman to be calm and relaxed which is important at that time. It also helps in getting rid of phobias and stress.

Apart from health benefits, it has Spiritual Benefits also. Mindfulness Meditation is not bound to any particular religion so anyone can do it. It helps you to know about yourself and more you practice it the more you know about yourself. It gives a true personal transformation.

To get the most of the meditation or to get the benefits of meditation, regular practice is necessary. It will not take much of your time and if you do it regularly it will become a part of your routine. Meditation is like a seed, it grows with the time and becomes a tree and will give the fruit along with the shade.

As we have told earlier also that anyone can do Meditation and there is no condition of the age or religion as well. Those who have a busy schedule, for them Guided Meditation is the best way to rejuvenate their mind and body. They feel great to take out few minutes from their busy schedule to refresh themselves.
