FAQs Meditation
Meditation is not about stopping the thinking mind. This is a common misnomer. Nobody can stop their mind from thinking, it’s a human attribute. In meditation we learn how to cultivate attention, and if our mind wanders off, we simply bring it back to what we are placing out attention on. The more we notice our mind wander and bring it back, the better we get at harnessing our attention. This is the process of meditation. As we get gaps in our thinking, we experience deep relaxation in those gaps.
One of the greatest benefits of meditation is that it gives the brain a rest and therefore leads to greater clarity and efficiency. So, people who meditate often need less time to get things done.
Meditation accesses different brainwaves that induce blissful and relaxed states.
Meditation when sitting is cultivating attention when you command that of your mind, not only when it just happens. This helps us reach peaceful states during all phases of life, i.e. during easy times and difficult times.
