Mangaluru: Buddha was once asked: “What have you gained from Meditation?” He replied: “Nothing.” “However”, Buddha said, “let me tell you what I lost: Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of Old Age and Death.” The New Year is a time for evaluating our lives and the year’s events, for resolutions to improve and transform. Why Meditate? Regular practice of meditation has these benefits: Improved quality of life; Stress relief; Better quality of sleep; Stimulation of the immune system; and Greater concentration. When we apply our consciousness to learn about ourselves, it is as if our thoughts and feelings are separate.
When we meditate on the heart, we feel one with nature and develop intuitive understanding. Meditation heals and transforms us. Meditation reflects your consciousness. Through meditation, you get the opportunity to look deep into yourself. Try Heartfulness and see how you can change yourself.
