You often hear it said that meditation is the advisable method to improve mental and physical health, but surely you still keep wondering why. What good is meditation, and what do we gain so much from it?
Body awareness
Awareness of the body is the key to good health. If you are not connected to your body, so notice its changes, how it reacts to the consumption of certain foods, after some physical activity, etc., then you are more prone to be affected by disease or other problems. .
This is a benefit, which is felt more in the long run. Your body 'speaks' to you all the time sending you signals, you just have to slow down and listen carefully.
It will improve your connections
Practicing meditation helps you to be more connected to yourself, to how you feel, think and how life is going. The more time you take for yourself and think about what is really going on with YOU and your state of mind the more you will become aware of your role in the relationship you have.
Better communication
Your new discoveries will help you communicate your feelings and thoughts to others more effectively. This is because you yourself will be more aware of what you think / feel. This will make others understand you better and have better communication with everyone, from your partner, boss or even someone you like very little.
Power to focus
Meditation itself requires concentration. The more you practice the more you will feel the ability to focus on the things that matter most to you. Remember the times when you are working or dealing with something, and after a few minutes you find yourself thinking about what to cook for dinner, who is sending you the message, or what you will wear the next day and this list goes on. This focus will help you in a better performance at work, communication and every other aspect.
You will love yourself more
Meditation is the fastest way to love yourself. By finding some time to sit alone, you will deeply understand what is going on around you and any doubts or uncertainties will disappear. You will realize that it is not your job, your problems or your emotions being 'connected' to your real essence. Everything will be better.
