• Since meditating, which has helped me with hearing voices, I do not have as much stress in my life.

• I do not worry about the things that happen daily.

• I am more conscious about going with the flow and

• I also know that through faith everything is as it should be at each moment.

There are other tremendous health benefits besides reducing stress.

It is known fact that meditation also lowers your heart rate and if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is known to reduce it.

The more you meditate, you are able to silence your mind which gives you freedom from your negative thought patterns and allows you to experience being in the moment.

By being in the moment, you become more spontaneous and are able to respond freely to situations.

Silencing your mind, also allows you to be creative in a natural manner as you are no longer controlled by your negative thoughts such as criticisms and judgment.

During a conversations I had with my deceased sister Sunni about the benefits of meditation, here is what she said:

The sooner everyone starts practicing meditation or yoga or reiki and things like that, the sooner everyone has access their inner selves. It is important to put an active mind to rest so that one can concentrate and listen to his/her inner body.

More Benefits Of Meditation

I agree with my sister and besides the effects of being able to listen to one’s inner body, I have found that I am able to get things done much quicker as I can focus completely at the task at hand.

Meditation also helps you to detach from everything going on around you, especially all the little things that irritate you. It could be standing too long in a line at the bank or waiting in traffic.

It helps you to experience and inner peace and peace of mind since your thoughts do not control you. This results in an inner happiness that is lasting since it is not sought through external circumstances true happiness always comes from within.

The best benefit of meditation is that you discover your reason for being here – your true purpose in life.

With all these wonderful benefits of meditation, plus that fact that you can do it anywhere and only costs you time, why not start meditating immediately!
