Meditation - why bother or better yet do you need to bother?

I hope your week is going well and that you have been able to take a few minutes for yourself despite the busyness of work...

Meditation - why bother or better yet do you need to bother?

What I can share from personal experience is that meditation is worth taking the time to do, and to learn to do in a way that fits for you. I have to admit I did not always feel like this, as I had experienced difficulty in stopping the thoughts from gushing forth.

However, with a little time and some patience, I discovered much to my delight, the benefits of quieting the mind. Here is what you can gain from such a practice:

- develop a sense of peace
- eliminate fatigue
- find clarity of purpose
- reduce stress
- reduce pain

but more importantly it offers you the opportunity to have a direct connection with your Higher source, Spirit, Higher consciousness, God, (use the term that fits for you).

Don't let anyone tell you that there is only one way to quiet the mind. There is no right or wrong way to meditate. Learn to Be You Own Wizard. You can start with a few minutes and expand from there. As always, you can Google the topic and you'll find incredible resources.

Like Nike says ... Just do it!
