Meditation. The power of meditation is underestimated by many individuals, but the fact remains that meditation affects not only the body but the mind and soul as well. Meditation is a simple exercise of the mind but the power of meditation offers countless benefits.
Meditation is all about knowing who you really are and become aligned with your true self. Once you begin to understand your natural being, then you will begin to understand your worth and how valuable you are.
It is not only beneficial to our minds, body, and soul by relaxing and all; it can also make us great thinkers, happy and highly motivated people with increased self-esteem. In fact, the power of meditation is enormous.
Meditation can also have a great impact on our physical body in many ways that are both obvious and subtle. Meditation teaches us to picture the world free of the usual biases we tend to live with. Instead, we see our world as one that is free of hatred, jealousy, and fear.
BENEFITS OF MEDITATION
A list of benefits associated with mediation includes:
- Meditation Improves Our Sleep
A regular meditation routine helps to improve the quality of our sleep. If you are meditating on a regular basis, you will find that you will always have sufficient sleep. Even if you wake, the mind will still find it easier to go back to sleep without any stress and peel.
- Meditation Improves Our Focus
The power of meditation leaves us with this important benefit; the ability to focus on what is happening. It is only natural for us to worry; in fact, the stress of our daily lives has aggravated this act. One thing we ought to understand as humans is that we can’t change the past; we can only learn from what has happened in the past and use it to shape the future into how we want it to be. This is achievable simply because the future is yet to come – it hasn’t happened yet! Meditation gives us a better understanding of this and negates the stress and pressures that
are usually associated with being worried over past events or the unborn future.

Regular mediation, say once or twice a day for 15 minutes helps to relieve anxiety, migraines, hypertension, and depression.
Other benefits of meditation on our mind and body include:

- Lower blood pressure
- Promotes clearer thinking and wider imaginations
- Meditation has the power to balance both parts of the brain
