Meditation- a power booster, healer and stress reliever

Major religions of the world, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Daoism, Judaism, practice some sort of calming the mind, which is a form of meditation, to gain insight and wisdom, by listening to God through silence, breathing and focus.

“Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46.10 Bible.

 Meditation is medicine for the mind. Like exercise builds the muscles of your body, meditation builds the muscles of your mind. Meditation is the act of listening to God. Prayer is the act of talking to God. It is the way to get rid of all negative emotions like hatred, jealousy, anger etc. It purifies and strengthens the mind. It can place you in a state of bliss and significantly reduce your level of stress, strengthen your immune system and overall well-being.

 Benefits of meditation

“Breath is the bridge that connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as a means to take hold of your mind again”           Thich Nhat Hanh- Buddhist monk

In Bible Psalms 39.5  it is described this way “Each man’s life is but a breath’’

Just as an engine which runs daily requires cooling down to avoid overheating, increased durability and efficiency, your mind is to be relaxed regularly through meditation after daily stress and mental pollution. As food is good for the body, meditation is good for the mind. Meditation has positive effects like inner peace, contentment, better responsiveness to stressful events, quicker recovery, more immunity, better sleep, reduced heart rate, and blood pressure, slowed rate of breathing, and more stable brainwave patterns. The mind is the software and the brain is the hardware.
