Magical Health Benefits of Meditation in our Life
Life is a blessing from the Almighty and we should always be thankful to God. With time. technology has progressed a lot and so has the human race.
We have seen a lot of advancement in Information technology, transportation, media and communication, telecommunication, etc. No doubt the world is moving towards more innovation and faster technologies. Still, if we see on a larger scale the increasing number of gadgets, the busy daily routine, and untimely eating habits due to hectic work schedule has devastated human mental and physical well-being.
Every 2nd person out of 20 suffers from some physical or mental health issue. Thanks to the dependency on technology, less physical activities, more screen time, absence of a balanced diet, lack of exercise, etc.
Physical health issues are something one can notice easily but what about problems that remain hidden and take a lot of time to come to the surface? Yes, you guessed it right, we are talking about mental health.
Mental health issues are quite common nowadays. After the breakdown of COVID in 2020 in India we were forced to stay indoors, no physical communication with peers, neighbours, and relatives. This led to a secluded life, more proximity to gadgets in our leisure time, less or no interaction with the mother nature.
All this created a negative impact on the mental health of a large proportion of the population. The number of people suffering from anger issues, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, stress etc have been increase at a rapid rate in past 2 years.
When someone suffers from such mental health issue, they consult a psychologist and that’s totally fine. This is one of the first step that one should take, visiting a psychologist or psychiatrist to discuss your problems. Most of them recommend allopathic drugs for these mental health issues. Many people show a positive response but if you analyze the whole scenario: you will understand that if taken in the long run these drugs have drastic effects on your physical health. Many of the patients may become addictive to them, gain weight, lose interest in hobbies etc. This is one of the solution but not a permanent one and not something that will prove fruitful in the long run.
So, what should one implement along with or without medicine ( consult your psychologist or psychiatrist for this). MEDITATION: Yes, it can prove a boon for many such people suffering from depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Studies have proved that meditation under the right guidance and with consistent practice can have magical effects on mental health and overall well-being.
Buddhism has meditation as one of its practice. Meditation basically means sitting in a comfortable place, a silent place where you can easily concentrate on your breath and your running thoughts. Some people think that in meditation you need to plan your thoughts and think only about positive or good thoughts but this is not the case.
Just sit idle, don’t try to control your thoughts, let them come, and just focus on your breath and just flow with the thoughts. Your brain will bring ‘n’ number of vague, useless, stupid random thoughts, they can be of any nature: violent, illogical, your desires, etc, let them come!
