Four Proven Reasons to Meditate

There are many reasons why it is beneficial to meditate. If you do not already have a meditation practice these four reasons could well motivate you to getting started.


  1. Meditation is well researched stress in reducing and eliminating stress. It leads to greater peace, calm and relaxation.
  2. Meditation releases mental confusion and conflicts so that you are able to become more focused, concentrated and alert.
  3. Meditation enables you to release old stored negative beliefs about yourself and others. You can then attract to you what you really want because your self confidence and self esteem increase.

The basis of meditation is learning to focus and concentrate the mind. If you want to achieve all of the above you need to learn how to manage your mind. Your mind’s job is to create thoughts. There’s nothing wrong with that. Mind does what it is designed to do. Thoughts arise all the time. Your reactions to those thoughts are what create your world.


What if you could just observe your thoughts without constantly reacting to them? What if you could view your thoughts as you would a movie? You are the watcher, the observer of the movie of your mind and like a movie each scene (thought) is passing in front of you and then disappearing. If you could observe the movie of your life without reactivity in which you create unhappiness what would your life be like? Any person living a life like that without dramas, conflicts, crises, and misery would be feeling calm, peaceful, relaxed and aligned with their skills, talents and creativity. Is this possible to achieve? Yes it is.
