Meditation is becoming more and more popular. Next to yoga, pilates and tai chi, it is an easy yet effective way to relax and reconnect to yourself. Numerous studies show that meditation can even activate the self-healing process! Already a few minutes each day can have a huge impact on your life – a positive one, of course. Ready to try it? Here are the reasons I introduced meditation into my life.
The best way to get more acquainted with lucid dreaming is by hearing other people’s experiences. The stories told will either make or break your curiosity.
Practicing mindfulness has improved the quality of my unpredictable life with a toddler. To me, mindfulness means the mental control to be present in each moment, acknowledge emotions, and maintain peace in your heart.
“To be or not to be, that is the question” (Shakespeare). In a literary world, words so boldly asked of one’s self. Now apply it to current life. Who do you want to be? With whom do you want to be with? What do you want to be remembered for? A legacy. A Legend. Intense. I know!
It’s safe to say that meditation has greatly improved my life mentally, physically and spiritually. I have been meditating every day for over a year and a half now, starting when I began having anxiety attacks and was at a loss on what to do to try and get back to a healthy state of mind and body. At that point, I would have tried anything because I knew I couldn’t live in a constant state of fear and worry. I had heard of meditation and the benefits of it but had never tried it before. I started off slow, meditating for 5 minutes at a time. I was surprised at how hard it was to sit still and just breathe but when your body is in a constant state of “fight or flight”, sitting still can seem very difficult.
Meditation and mindfulness helped me to beat an addiction to Adderall that I had for years. No kidding. As I had ADHD for most of my life, taking Adderall was seemingly the only way I could ever function and focus in the world; this proved to be immensely wrong when I began to meditate and practice mindfulness.
My name is Michelle, I am 37 years old, I am a woman, wife, and mother.
It was around 5 years ago that I discovered meditation, after many years since as far back as my childhood I have always had a fascination with crystals and angels, so it wasn’t completely alien to me when my once grumpy father started attending a local spiritualist church, slowly but surely we all started to notice a change in my Dad, he became calmer and started talking about feelings and emotions (we were quite surprised, to say the least) This inspired me to see what all the fuss was about, I have now been meditating for around 4 years and run 3 meditation classes a week and expanding, so you could say it changed my life!
