I do a combination of Yoga, breathwork and meditation every day that I learned from the Art Of Living foundation. It helps calm my nerves and quieten my busy mind. I often find I get creative ideas popping into my head during meditation that I would otherwise never have thought of. It’s a great way of getting in touch with your intuition and deepening your sense of inner wisdom.

Aummmmmm

The benefits of meditation have been known for thousands of years, and are particularly helpful in our modern society where we are increasingly trained to think a lot and rarely get a break from the mental chatter in our heads.

Advantages:

  • Helps deal with stress
  • Teaches you to relax and focus
  • A form of meditation or prayer is a core part of most spiritual philosophies
  • It’s free!

Disadvantages:

  • Doesn’t help you develop social skills; may even impair them
  • Can make you more introverted and shy
  • Takes a very long time to release and heal trauma compared to somatic therapies

As I mentioned in an earlier comment, I took up meditation about 5 or so years ago under the advice of a mentor of mine and simply haven’t looked back.

The positive effects the practice have had on my life – both personal and work – have almost been immeasurable.

Even at the most basic of beginner levels, implementing mediation into your day to day existence is bound to bring even a tiny, positive change to your life!

Matt.
