Beyond the Hype - Three Benefits of Meditation
Meditation has been in the news for years now with seemingly everyone from your neighbor to the hottest celebrity spouting its benefits, but that's not what is going to get the majority of us into the sitting position focusing on our breath. Research and celebrities are great, but will they really encourage you to sit down with yourself each day, quiet your mind and look within? For longer than a day or two? Right.
What might helps us, though, is the realization that, by simply spending a few minutes each day focusing on ourselves, every remaining minute of each day will feel transformed in the most positive ways possible.
So, why is meditation so important so important to me? Because I know that it works. Generally I have seen and felt how bad I feel without it and how good I feel when I practice it regularly.
Specifically, here are the three ways meditation has helped improve my life. I hope you will find some of your own truth in my experiences and allow them to encourage you to sit a spell with yourself.
The truth is, we are all battling our own challenges and a little kindness (inwardly and outwardly pointed) can go a very long way.
Bio: Melissa Willis shares about her family’s adventures in Urban Farming on 1/8 acre in Santa Fe, NM on her blog Ever Growing Farm.
With 15 laying hens, a top bar hive of bees, five fruit trees and 425 square feet of active growing space, every extra hour in the day goes into producing as much of their own food as possible and learning many of the old skills that have stopped being passed down from generation to generation.
