Six Reasons Why You Should Meditate Every Day

by Len Foley
Reason #1:
Meditation can give you an instant energy boost!

Have you ever found yourself feeling sluggish, tired, or easily distracted? This is because your energy is being depleted by too many thoughts; they spin around in your head all day and night exhausting you both mentally and physically.

Meditation works with your subtle energy wind system (otherwise known as chi or prana), rejuvenating your body and clearing your mind by creating a mental space between you and your world. This mental space will help increase your productivity, decrease your stress, and give you a renewed energy that will help you get through even the toughest situations!

Reason #2:
Meditation doesn’t require any fancy equipment.

You need only need two things to meditate:

  1. A rear-end.
  2. A place to sit.

Since everyone has their own rear-end -- and most everyone can find at least one quiet place to sit (a parked car could be a great place to start), then there is little reason why you can’t enjoy the immense benefits of a regular meditation practice.

Reason #3:
Meditation doesn’t require any special credentials.

You don’t have to be a Zen master living on juniper berries in the nether regions of The Himalayas to be able to meditate! Meditation is a practical, efficient tool that you can use everyday to improve your life regardless of what religion you are, what you do for a living, and what your level of experience is. All you need is a genuine wish to try it and you are on your way!

Reason #4:
Meditation can extend your life.

Do you suffer from chronic stress, anxiety and/or insecurity? These unhealthy states of mind if left untreated can inevitably lead to an unhealthy body and even an untimely death. This is because the main cause of all mental and physical illnesses are energy imbalances in the body.

Meditation helps you return to your perfectly balanced state by cultivating positive and peaceful states of mind thus reducing stress and other negative states of mind until they are eventually eradicated altogether! In fact medical studies show that meditation can reverse certain aspects of heart disease as well as reduce and eliminate physical pain. By engaging in a regular meditation practice you will live a longer, healthier life!

Check it out for yourself. Begin with a simple five- minute-per-day commitment, gradually working your way up to a few more minutes each session until you’ve reached a full twenty minutes of uninterrupted meditation. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you will start to look younger and feel better!

Reason #5:
Meditation is easy (once you get the hang of it)!

The only reason meditation seems difficult, is because we don’t understand its benefits and have little familiarity with how to put it into practice. Meditation is developing internally NOT externally. At the moment we spend much of our time and energy trying to change our external world to make ourselves happy. We change jobs, cars, relationships, houses, etc�?thinking that it will give us the peace and happiness we are so desperate to experience.

Buddha taught simple breathing meditation techniques that eventually lead to permanent states of inner peace. These techniques are as simple as focusing on our breath for three seconds!! All we need to do is approach it with an open mind and with a little bit of focus and concentration you will be surprised at how easy and addictive meditation can be.

Remember: there is no such thing as a bad meditation!

Reason #6:
Meditation will improve ALL your relationships.

Meditation will teach you how to cultivate positive states of mind such as love, compassion, and patience. These minds are vital in any healthy personal or business relationship and will help you be more generous and respectful towards others.
