So, meditation kind of gets a bad reputation. Honestly, as someone who practices it, meditation is one of the best ways to relax and steady yourself. Alongside the mental peace, meditation allows for many different stresses to be released. Even at 5 minutes of meditation, it can change how you feel.
1. Meditation lets you have personal time
Having even 5 minutes for seclusion really allows for stress to be released and also for you to have that “me time.”
2. Letting your mind wander
Most busy people never have time for using their imaginations and for time to think through things. Meditation can allow for a daily use of imagination and a peaceful time to think through your daily life
3. Meditation relaxes the body
Focusing on your body and your own mind really lets you be more susceptible to growth and problem solving, and with meditation, the added seclusion opens doors for even further delving into your body and mind.
4. Meditation can also be used for spiritual times
Meditation and centering your mind definitely allows for prayer and communication with God (if you practice). As a practicing Christian, I allow meditation to replenish my own body, but also allow for the Holy Spirit to connect with me and replenish my spirit.
Meditation is an awesome practice that allows for personal growth and for stress to release the body with the benefits of spiritual time as well. So don’t be afraid to try it and see what happens!
