We don't know why, but every time we talk about "Meditation" there is someone asking what is so exciting about being sitting in an awkward position, trying to become some boring Buddha reincarnations. ... Wait, what?!?
Okay, we get it, most people don't understand meditation or the benefits it can bring to your life, but this is because they don't even know what Meditation really IS.
"Meditation is becoming one with your mind."
The purpose of meditation is to slow down and eventually stop the incessant activity of the mind.
There are many different meditation styles and techniques, but the point is to lead the mind to a state of "thoughtless awareness" and to focus the attention on the present moment. Mastering the ability to put the "attention" on specific things (such as your breath) is one of the key aspect of Meditation. It helps you to get in control of your mind, being mindful and aware.
There are many incredibly positive aspects of meditating: it helps you decrease your stress level, gain control over your emotions, and thoughts, learn useful new skills, and so on. We seriously couldn't write everything about it, even if we wanted to!
But still, we believe that they are not the true reasons why you should meditate.
There is only one true reason, and that reason is YOU.
You have to do it for yourself.
You have to do it because it's okay to take care of your body, it's okay to feel beautiful and trying hard to feel comfortable in your skin, and we won't call you Regina George for it!
But your body is not everything that you are.
You are your mind, too.
And training your mind is as much as important than being good looking and feeling good in your body.
We really hope you agree with us, and that you will give it a try if you haven't yet. If you're going to follow us in our journey you'll have the chance to understand more about this topic, because it's something we really care about!
In the next posts in the "Positive Vibes" section we'll be talking about more specific aspects of Meditation, this was just a message we wanted to share with you all. Hope you appreciated that. :)
See you tomorrow!
