Effects of Meditation

-
When we are not in a meditative frame of mind and are under tension we are passing through a strange state of mind. In times of stress, we notice that the mind is typically jumping from one thought to another. As a result of this restlessness it gets exhausted. Meditation, in contrast to this directionless activity, helps us to overcome our restlessness by keeping the mind on one object of concentration.
Meditation also helps us in other ways. As has already been noted, during the processor f meditation we can act as a witness. When we sit for meditation many thoughts come to mind. Many ideas float to the surface of our consciousness but if we take up the attitude of a witness and cultivate the habit of studying all that is passing through the mind we derive peace. We merely observe the thoughts and do not react to them. This is one of the advantages of meditation.

Those who are not in the habit of meditating react violently as soon as a thought comes into their mind. The immediate result is grief because more often than not the mind has the tendency to ruminate over negative aspects of the experience. The more we indulge in negative thoughts, the more we become prone to nervous tension. But if we practice meditation and observe whatever thoughts float into our mind, we can see that slowly these thoughts subside on their own and the entire pattern of our psychological stress and strain begins to decline.
Therefore, it is most emphatically stated that each of us should set apart at least a few moments each day hen we can dive deep into the innermost recesses of our being so that we stay free of the emotional entanglement with negative thoughts. We learn how to let's go. Once we succeed in establishing this attitude no thought can produce a ripple on the calm surface of the mind. We are detached witnesses to our thoughts and the peace this brings is diametrically opposite to mental stress.

Another important effect of meditation is that we become aware of a peaceful state which emanates from within. Those who practice regular meditation will surely affirm that there are days on which they are at great peace with the inner self. In other words, meditation is a peaceful pause in an otherwise hectic flow of life. We certainly need such a pause. Since in our busy schedule we have e not allotted any time to pause and ponder, we suffer. The corrective to this is to take the help of moments of meditation to pause and ponder which will surely have a sobering influence on our hectic daily schedule.

All about DEPRESSION one must know

-
Depression is the leading cause of disability in the world; in the United States, close to ten percent of adults struggle with the disease. But because it’s a mental illness, it can be a lot harder to understand than, say, high cholesterol. We all go through bad times that could be not scoring good, having an argument, or family pressure but all this can be easily recovered we forget about it after a few moments but clinical depression is a totally different thing. It is a mental disorder that can"t simply go when one wants it to. one of the worst things about depression is that it is hard to make it out whether you are going through depression or just sad for a common reason. The biggest difference between being sad or being depressed is that a person knows the reason for what he/she is sad for but unfortunately, one has no clue for what they are feeling so low in depression. another misunderstanding one has to identify the difference between depression and anxiety.

How to energize your subconscious mind for creative effort?

-
One can be surprised by knowing the possibilities of creative effort connected with the subconscious mind are imponderable. Remeberable, your subconscious mind functions voluntarily, whether you make an effort to influence it or not. This, naturally, suggests to you that thoughts of fear and poverty, and al negative thoughts serve as stimuli to your subconscious mind unless you master these impulses and give it more desirable food upon which it may feed. The subconscious mind will not remain idle! If you are not able to plant desires in your subconscious mind, it will feed upon the thoughts which reach it as the result of your neglect. Thought impulses, both negative and positive are continuously reaching your subconscious mind, without your knowledge.
