Meditation ! You should sit in meditation for twenty minutes every day. Unless you are too busy. Then you should sit for an hour." Stop and Take time, To make time. Go for a walk, sit down and relax. Inhale. Exhale. Calm. Quiet. Happy. Inspired. Meditation doesn't always have to be "Om". And meditation doesn't always have to be sitting cross legged on the floor, trying so hard to force yourself to meditate and not think about your daily chores, or thinking and thinking about endless worries of life! Meditation often can be just a walk in the woods. And being aware Of you and yourself. And where you are. And letting the simple things in that moment be so beautifully real that you feel and touch the air and smell the breeze. Meditation is often just a cup of coffee, Sitting there, Gazing, And catching yourself with a gentle smile. Meditation is letting things stop. Even if just for a moment!

A common misconception about meditation is that you have to sit a certain way or do something in particular to achieve the various benefits that it can provide. All you have to do is place yourself in a position that is most comfortable to you. It could be sitting cross legged, lying down in a bed, sitting on a couch etc, it’s your choice.

Another common misconception about meditation is that you have to “try” to empty your mind. When meditating, you shouldn’t try to “empty” your mind. Instead, try to let your thoughts, feelings and whatever emotions you are feeling at the time flow. Don’t judge them, just let them come and go and be at peace with it. meditation is a state of being/mind more than anything else. And one does not have to sit down for half an hour and “meditate” so to speak in order to reap the benefits of it, or to be engaged in the practice itself. ‪One can be engaged in meditation while they are on a walk, or the time they have right before they sleep. Throughout the day, one can resist judging their thoughts, letting them flow until they are no more, or just be in a constant state of peace and self awareness. Contrary to popular belief, there is more than one way to meditate.

Various studies conducted reveal that meditation literally rebuilds the brains grey matter in just eight weeks. Harvard study reveals that mediation can do wonders to the Brain. meditation produces changes over time in the brain’s grey matter. Although the practice of meditation is associated with a sense of peacefulness and physical relaxation, practitioners have long claimed that meditation also provides cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout the day. By practicing meditation, we can play an active role in changing the brain and can increase our well-being and quality of life.

“You will have to understand one of the most fundamental things about meditation: that no technique leads to meditation. The old so-called techniques and the new scientific biofeedback techniques are the same as far as meditation is concerned. Meditation is not a byproduct of any technique. Meditation happens beyond mind. No technique can go beyond mind.” – Osho
