What is meditation?

Simply put, meditation is the ability to clear our minds

in times of quiet so that

we can act and react more deliberately to

daily life in action.

Make some time to learn and manage

reactions to daily life by creating pockets of peace

in your brain through meditation.

 The exercises are simple and

yet profound when practiced.

Meditation is designed to show you

 how to create pockets of peace

throughout the day by meditating.

When we set aside time to meditate,

we give our brains new coping tools

on how to act and react to life’s actions.

Meditation is designed to
create pockets of time

in our daily lives.

Meditation and psychology have a lot in common: 

They are both ways to cope with

life’s ebbs and flows—the ups and downs of everyday experiences. 

Their similarities parallel on many levels, but there are very important differences between psychology and meditation. 

The most obvious is the different ways they can help a person reach a point of understanding and contentment:

While psychology and psychotherapy can be a long process

of mapping out the many details of your memories and past experiences

to figure out what events make you who you are today,

meditation does not take into consideration the details of your past.

It does not need to.

Meditation focuses on the process of creating new pathways in your mind to understanding and contentment.

Come as you are.

Psychology deals with the details of how we came to be the way we are today.

Meditation on the other hand deals with the process.

Meditation assumes that we all feel with a rainbow of emotions
and we all have different emotional blueprints.

Things come at us at 100 miles per hour.

The most important thing to remember is
how we react to them.

Meditation helps that process along and
it takes you to the super highway
towards your spirit.

Our minds race all day long.

The key to meditation is to learn how to

slow our thoughts way down.

 In that process, we begin learning to build

a new relationship between us and our brains.

Learning to slow thoughts way down is

an amazing ability of self-empowerment.

With practice,
meditation becomes a wonderful new companion
that helps us out with our daily events.

Meditation
gives out a
feeling of
peace,
surrender,

and connects us
to all the positive
forces in the
Universe.

Once we connect to that higher force, we begin to

 see our lives heading in a new direction.
