The benefits of meditation - Open new doors for your life

Hello everyone!

Like I mentioned in the post about self-awareness we gonna speak more about meditation and its benefits. First of all you might ask yourself: What is meditation? 

"Meditation can be defined as a set of techniques that are intended to encourage a heightened state of awareness and focused attention. Meditation is also a consciousness-changing technique that has been shown to have a wide number of benefits on psychological well-being" (Definition by Verywellmind).

But what are the detailed benefits of meditation and how can it be life changing?

1. Meditation can reduce stress and anxiety. 

The more we are aware of our thoughts the more we can change our negative believes. Furthermore taking several small breaks in our daily life helps to wind down and let go of stress. The less stress we feel the less anxious we will be about our future and tasks we need to do. Meditation can be a great tool to declutter the mind and free your mind. You will face obstacles with more productivity and motivation.

2. Meditation teaches us self-love and kindness. 

Through caring about ourselves and take time for ourselves we show that we are worth it. The more attention we bring towards us the more we will build up strategies to cope with difficult emotions and accept them. Medititation is a great tool to improve our whole well-being.

3. Meditation helps us to let go of negativity & unwanted emotions. 

Through awareness and letting go we will invite more and more positivity in our daily life and so we will feel more happy.

4. Meditation teaches us to be grateful and trust in life. 

With time we will be able to see more things that we like in our life or about ourselves and things that are going well. In general we learn to focus on the good things even in overwhelming and difficult times and we learn to trust in life and that it will unfold the way we wish for.

5. Meditation teaches us to forgive and heal old wounds.

6. Studies show that meditation even helps to reduce blood pressure and can help to handle depression.

So, do you think about starting to invite meditation in your daily life? You find a huge variety of guided meditations on Youtube.

Life is short. I mean how often do we really do the things we really want to do? How often do we really say what we feel? How often do we really show our appreciation and love to others?  How often are we thankful? How often do we show our true soul? How often do we want to help? Do something good for others? Be humble, be kind. Life is mystery. Life is constant change. But life is beautiful. Life is deep. Life is a painting of all our experiences, all our memories. So just let every day be a special day - just remember it could be the last. If you live this way you can say in the end - life is a gift. The biggest gift.     © Wind of Happiness

Why self-love is the key to true love.

“You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away.” ― C. JoyBell C. This beautiful quotation shows that we need to accept and love ourselves with all imperfections as a result to give value to our life and everything around us, including our loved ones. Only when we know who we truly are, when we forgive ourselves to let go of all negativity and to heal our wounds, when we know our goals and dreams, only then we will be able to invite true love to our life. Many people misunderstand the importance of loving themselves because they think that i

 “People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh Being mindful helps us to realise for what we can be grateful in our daily life. What are you doing sundays to be mindful? To be grateful? What slows you down?
