Meditation is Rooted in How Your Mind Works

There are a lot of misconceptions regarding meditation and, by extension, mindfulness. A lot of people are under the impression that you have to have some sort of mystical religious belief for meditation to work for you.

 

Nothing could be further from the truth. When you practice meditation, you are tapping into processes that are already happening in your mind. You're not imposing something new onto it. You're not trying to make it do something that it normally doesn't do. Worse yet, you're not trying to get it to do something that it won’t do.

 

Instead, it's already proceeding in a certain way. It’s already operating in a certain way. When you practice meditation and mindfulness, you just align your consciousness with how your mind already works. This way, instead of your mind working against you, it works for you.

 

Believe it or not, when you think about traumatic experiences in the past or you worry about stuff that could possibly go wrong in the future, you are letting your mind work against you. The big tragedy to all of this is that you are doing it to yourself.

 

Nobody is pointing a gun at your head and demanding that you remain a slave to the traumatic experiences of your past. Nobody is slapping you around and forcing you to bow to your fears. Nobody is pushing you to be miserable because of things that may possibly happen in the future.

 

You're doing this all to yourself, and what makes this a tragedy is your mind is so powerful, so beautiful and so amazing but you task it to make you miserable. You choose to have your mind work against you to the extent that you feel stuck in your life.

 

Did you know that you can do whatever anybody else could do? Think of the most successful person that you know. Did you know that you can do what they do? When a thousand and one reasons appear in your mind explaining why you can’t do what they do or achieve what they achieve, that's your mind in operation. It doesn't have to operate that way. Sadly, you trained it to operate that way.

 

Meditation enables you to understand how your mind works and then choose the outcome of your thoughts.

 

What you focus on grows. The more you focus on your problems, the more they grow. The more you focus on your insecurities, the weaker you feel. The more you focus on your flaws both physical and emotional, the less attractive and the more doomed you feel. Stop it. It doesn't have to be that way.

 

Your reality is a choice. By understanding how your mind already works in the here and now, you can start making necessary changes that can take your life to the next level.

 

Get the inside scoop on how meditation works and how you can apply certain simple steps to change your thinking. It is probably going to be one of the best decisions you have ever made.

 

Believe me for people who have just discovered meditation, they get the feeling that they have just been released from jail. It's like day and night. When you enjoy the calm and serenity that meditation can bring to your life, you start thinking of why you’ve wasted all those years thinking the way you did.

 

Make no mistake you are always in control. I know that it's not a comfortable thing to here because you’d rather blame other people. You'd rather think that your life is set in stone by the past. If you really want to live a life of power, meaning and purpose, meditation is the key.

 

Believe it or Not You Do Have the Time for Meditation

Whenever I talk to people about the benefits of meditation or any sort of mindfulness practice, I get predictable answers. I really do. First, I get people who confuse meditation with some sort of religious practice. As you probably already know, we live in a secular world especially in Western Europe and North America. People simply do not want to hear anything about god, the deity or anything supernatural.

 

Regardless of whether you agree with that or not, this is the reality. The moment you engage in any kind of talk that comes suspiciously close to something supernatural or the divine, people shut off their minds. And that is on a good day.

 

On a bad day, you get somebody who would actually attack you. They would think that you're stupid. They would think that your IQ is very low. They might even accuse you of having extra chromosomes. It can get quite nasty. That’s just the world we live in. It’s very secular.

 

The other predictable objection I get about meditation is that they simply do not have the time. It is obvious that for too many people, time is a luxury. There are only so many hours in a day and they have basically overbooked their day. This is a fact. If they could, they would split themselves up and be found in different places at the same time. That's how busy they are.

 

Given this context, do people have the time or the energy to meditate? Well, if you can overcome your initial suspicion that meditation is somehow some way linked to religion and give it a shot, then the next problem is simple time management.

 

Believe it or not you have the time for meditation. First of all, you only need fifteen minutes or less. In fact, if you can invest five minutes or more to meditation, you're in a good place. You don't have to spend half a day. You don't even have to spend a full hour. Fifteen minutes is plenty.

 

You may be thinking, “Well, I don't have fifteen minutes.” Think again. Do me a big favor. List down all the things that you actually do at work. You'd be surprised as to how unproductive you really are. Sure, you're putting in eight hours a day, day after day, week after week, month after month.

 

That much is obvious. You’re overstressed. You’re overworked. You feel tired. However, look at the nitty-gritty of the stuff that you’re actually doing. I can bet you that you're not actually doing eight full hours of work. I’m talking about productive work here. I’m not talking about you checking out your social media updates. I’m not talking about you looking at your mobile phone to see what’s on Instagram or checking your e-mail.

 

I’m talking about actual work here. I’m talking about work that puts food on the table or at least the kind of work that your boss is paying you to do. I know it's uncomfortable to hear this because it is a moment of truth. If you were to compress those eight hours or filter it in terms of productivity, you probably would be lucky if you have two hours of actual work.

 

So, don’t tell me that you don't have time for meditation and mindfulness. You have the time. You just have to free up some of your unproductive activities.

 

Focus on the fact that meditation and mindfulness deliver a lot more benefits than whatever cost they bring to the table. Sure, you're out of fifteen minutes every day but can you really put a price tag on the sense of calm, inner peace and harmony that you get? Can you really put a price tag on the sense of calm, inner peace and harmony that you get? Can you really put a price tag on the amazing feeling of liberation that you often get after meditation?

 

You have to understand that you're carrying a lot in your mind. You’re worrying about a lot of stuff in the future. You even be carrying emotional baggage from the past. Those are precisely the kinds of things mindfulness will liberate you from.

 

So, stop looking at the price you have to pay and focus instead on the amazing mental and emotional riches that you stand to gain.

 

What Does Meditation Plug Into?

Please read the title again. I’m not talking about some sort of hardware plug here. I’m not talking about some sort of device sticking into some sort of slot. Instead, I’m talking about how meditation plugs into your mental processes. You have to understand that meditation is not a mystical activity. It is not an activity that requires religion, mysticism or spirituality. 

 

In fact, even though many strains of meditation and mindfulness practices can be traced to religion, the essence of this practice is plugged into your mind. The human mind is universal. People all over the world, regardless of what they look like, the color of their skin, how much money they make or their body type, are the same, mentally speaking. 

 

We all have the same hardware. What separates us is the software choices we make. Meditation is so powerful because it plugs into how the human mind operates off the shelf. If you were to clear out all the cultural programming that you have and if you were to eliminate all the residues of economics and history in your life, you would have raw processing mental power and this is the same across the board. 

 

This is what mediation plugs into. It connects with how your mind is already operating. The big difference is you learn how to make your mind work for you, instead of against you. You have to understand that people who are very successful or who seem to have the world by the tail are not physically different from you. 

 

In fact, there’s a good chance that you are physically superior to Bill Gates. Still, he has more money than you can ever imagine. Now, you might be thinking to yourself, “Okay, that’s Bill Gates. He was born with all sorts of advantages and I wasn’t. It’s not fair to compare me to Bill Gates because he’s able to achieve a lot of stuff and I’m barely getting by.” 

 

Well, you’re more than welcome to think that. You’re more than welcome to choose that mindset. But the more you choose that mindset, the more you will remain stuck. You have to understand that what other people can do, you can do if you make the right choices. It all boils down to mental clarity. 

 

This is just the fancy way of saying that you have to let your mental processes operate and flow in such a way that they will enable you to turn a lot more of your ideas into reality. I’m not talking about hoping and wishing here. I’m not talking about hoping against hope, that somehow, some way, something good will happen. That’s not what I’m talking about. 

 

Those are fantasies. People who engage in that kind of mental pattern barely lift a finger to change their circumstances. They remain stuck, and rightfully so, because they hang on to that type of programming. What I’m talking about is to use how your mind is already actually operating so you can turn a lot more of your ideas into goals and from goals, you turn them into plans. 

 

When you’re able to do this, you successfully bridge the divide that separates ideas from reality. That’s right. You can turn the things that you think about into things that you can see, touch, taste, smell and hear. In other words, you can turn them into reality. That’s how powerful focus is. One of the best ways to achieve that level of focus is to adopt some sort of meditation or mindfulness practice. 

 

Is Meditation Just a Tool?

There is a lot of misconception regarding meditation. As meditation and other forms of mindfulness continue to grow in the American and Western European imagination, it’s going to continue to run into a whole range of misconceptions. One of the most common objections people have to meditation is that is some sort of religious experience. That somehow, some way, if you practice meditation or meditation paired with yoga, you are basically converted into a different religion. 

 

Of course, there are many different layers of intentionality to this. Some people are saying that, the moment you meditate, you are consciously trying to become a Hindu or a Buddhist. Other people say that even though you don’t intend to follow these spiritual paths, that’s exactly what you’re doing in practice. 

 

Both of these ideas are wrong. You have to understand that meditation is not a destination in of itself. This is where all these misconceptions get it wrong. They think that you’re meditating because you want to be spiritual. Meditation, in their eyes, is a goal. This is wrong. Meditation is a tool.

 

When you buy a hammer, it’s not because hammers mean the world to you. It’s because you want to nail something to the wall. Similarly, if you buy a saw, it’s because you are a big fan of saws from all over the world. Instead, you buy a saw because you’re trying to cut some wood. The same applies to meditation. 

 

While there is quite a bit of elegance and beauty in the different practices and steps that make up meditation, at the end of the day, it is just a tool. That’s all it is. It’s something that you use to get to where you want to go. What is this ultimate destination? Well, it’s all about personal clarity. If you are feeling stuck, frustrated, discouraged, in any way, shape or form, it’s because of your thought patterns. 

 

Would it be great to think in such a way that the whole world opens up to you? It’s as if everything that you have found confusing, challenging, or even downright outrageous, about your life, has somehow become clear. That’s precisely the kind of mental and emotional state you can achieve with meditation. 

 

It does this without resorting to some sort of hocus pocus or magic. This is not some sort of religious activity. Instead, meditation really is a set of practices, discovered throughout thousands of years, that tie into how our minds work. Now, wrap your mind around that phrase. I said “how our minds work,” as in how it currently works, not how it could work or how it should work. 

 

I’m talking about how it currently works, right here, right now. The reason why people struggle and are dealing with all sorts of past traumas and worries is because they let their mind work against them instead of for them. Your mind is just a tool. You are always in control. You shape your world with your choices and how you think impacts your choices. 

 

Meditation is a tool for clarifying your thinking processes. You become aware of your decisions. You become aware of your ability to choose. You become aware of the impact of how you choose to think has an impact on your world. That is real power. But meditation in of itself is not the destination. That is not the goal, so don’t get it twisted. 

 

Use it for the tool that it is, so you can take your life to the next level. 

 

Spirituality

It's often believed that spirituality is a state where in we're exceeding physicality and surviving the far side it. In the fairyland, individuals may believe that spiritual living may help you blank out the worries of the physical world and you're always calm and happy.

 

But, in actuality, you need to realize that there's no spirituality without physicality and the other way around. Both need to complement each other and need to affair hand in hand for matters to go swimmingly and for you to remain pleased and content. This means to say that unless there's a sound balance between physicality and spirituality, your brain will be waffling and failing with unrest.

 

You need to understand that your soul without your physicality is a non-entity and it needs our physicality to carry itself. Similarly, our physicality can't exist without the spirit. Our physicality educates us about so many matters that could have no meaning to it unless our soul helps us comprehend and helps us connect to it.

 

Your achievements in life are a great deal responsible for stringing together the element of physicality and spirituality in a nice envelope where we see the approach pattern of life implanted inside. This needs the string of contentment to hold it all together and to give specific meanings to it. 

 

If you're having concerns, you upset this pattern as you're disturbing the elements of your physicality and spirituality and making unrest that will forbid these elements from calming and allowing you and your life with the meaning that these components need to give.

 

To put it more plainly, you need a balance between spiritualism and physicality to give semblance to your life and give it the meaning that you're always searching for. So, in order to prevent upsetting this balance between spirituality and physicality, you ought to learn to know that one can't exist without the other and they need to co-exist with each other and work in tandem and concur to help bring in contentment and fulfillment to your life.

 

By comprehending this general truth, you are able to work towards applying it in all walks of your life, and try to achieve results that bring in contentment and satisfaction. This will help in holding the perfect balance between the 2 elements and you'll discover your life to be more profitable and meaningful.

 

The truth is that physicality and spirituality can't live without one another. The sooner you realize this universal truth, you are able to work toward accomplishing your life’s desires and acquiring satisfaction out of it like you never thought would be possible.

 

The Revealing Symptoms of Depression

Drawn-out periods of sadness or not feeling "up to it": individuals who are always feeling not in the mood, who’d rather mope around the house and feel sorry for one’s self is the finest example for this symptom of depression.

 

Feels hopeless, pessimist: speaking of feeling sorry for one’s self, a different common symptom of depression is when an individual actually feels like he/she has nothing to look forward to in his or her lifespan.

Becoming suicidal, discussing death, about wanting to die is another clear indication that that individual is depressed. Being uneasy and irritable and physical symptoms that are commonly produced by poor mental health like headaches, digestive disorders and assorted body pains.

Depression shouldn’t be something that individuals fear of, rather, individuals ought to just start taking control of their lives and actually face this illness and battle it.

How and Why to Use Positive Affirmations as a Stress Management Tool

The best tool one can use to reprogram one’s unconscious mind and change it from being negative to positive thinking is positive affirmations. The basic concept to positive affirmations is using positive statements and repeating the same for enough time to let them get into your system. You then see the world from that angle; this works as strongly as negative self-talk works. If you want to make up a set of personal positive affirmations, make sure you use the guidelines that follow: 

 

Look At Your Intentions: Firstly, be clear on what is that you want to create in life. You must know the end product in order to realize the traits, attitudes and behaviors that would help you to reach the final destination. Do you want to be a supportive friend? Do you need more peace in life? Do you want to have a healthier lifestyle? It is a good idea to begin writing a journal in order to brainstorm and figure what is important for you and get to the core of what is needed to create that in life. 

 

Create Statements: Once you know what you are aiming for put it into simple words that help to reflect the reality of the goal you have set out to achieve. Frame these sentences like they were already true, not like they are going to happen. For instance, “I am” instead of “I want”. This helps you to tune your brain to believe the statement and it will help them to manifest into reality. 

 

Be Sure They’re Positive: When you are making positive affirmations, make sure they are positive. In other words, you must say things you want to experience and see and not the things you DON’T want to. For instance, instead of words such as “I don’t” one must use “I will”. 

 

If you like the idea for affirmations that are designed to reduce the stress in your life use ones that suggest peaceful thoughts, fostering a strong sense of efficiency, feeling safe. You can use the game of ‘Affirmation Hangman’ or use your own techniques in order to deal with stress.

Regrettably, this is among the feelings associated with depression anyhow and makes the illness hard to admit. 

 

If you're perpetually feeling especially blue, well-intentioned acquaintances may tell you to “snap out of it” or even begin to get annoyed by your modality. Your depression will feast off this negativity and you begin to question why you can’t simply “snap out of it”. You then begin to feel that there’s something amiss with you as it ought to be so simple and it’s simply “not right” that you feel so foul all the time. Well, it’s not right and there's something amiss with you. You've a medical condition and you merit treatment in the same means as any other patient. If you had a cold for 6 weeks, would you discount it and hope it would pass? No, you'd dose yourself up with anything you may find and perhaps see a physician to discover if there’s a rudimentary reason for it to go so long.

 

Depression is sorrow that lasts too long. Everybody is sad at some point in their experiences However depression is more than that. It's a feeling that you can’t get yourself up from the bottom. Finally, you give up trying. Individuals begin to avoid you. You feel worse. Your indigence to find outside help to treat the issue in the same way as you would if you had a lasting cold. You may try herbal cures – there are a few in your drugstore – or you may see your physician. There might be rudimentary physical grounds for your depression.

 

In a few cases, admitting depression might be hard as you've lived with it so long that you don’t understand whether it's depression or not. If you've grown up with depression it's possible not to recognize that you're actually depressed as you've no concept of how normal individuals ought to feel. You might feel furious all the time or you might feel like going to the middle of an abandoned field and merely yelling. You might feel apprehensive, have trouble sleeping or even sleep a bit much. You might believe that your loved ones would be better off without you (and really believe that to be true) and might have thought about turning tail or suicide. You might worry about death all the time (yours or another person’s) and not let yourself be happy just in case…… (Or even “I must enjoy this today just in case………..”). If you're experiencing any or all of the above then you need to think about talking to somebody. Even if it's just an acquaintance or family member to begin with, they might be able to advise you and encourage you to try professional help.

 

Once you've admitted that you have depression, please remember that it's a medical condition and may be cured. You don’t have to experience this always. Nobody really thinks of you the way you believe they do. Talk to somebody. Look for and accept help and you'll discover that there’s another way of viewing life.

Do some work and you'll find you feel less blue. There's something about a fresh bathroom, front room, or kitchen that provides most women a feeling of pride and order and delight. Men occasionally like doing some of the same work and experiencing the same mental attitude. The point is you simply want to get out and do something that moves your body. 

 

Why not attempt prayer when you feel blue? Try helping out somebody less fortunate. Consider hospital patients and understand that they most likely have things sorrier than you. You see happier youngsters and grownups in some of the worst settings in the hospital. Tally your blessings. Hug somebody or perhaps view a few old pictures of happy times with your loved ones. 

 

Naturally, all the hints given above might not apply to everybody. But give them a try and who knows... Perhaps they may help just a bit.
