Meditation on the Harp by Salvador Dali


Meditate! It will calm you down; it will balance your thoughts and emotions; it will boost your creativity; it will effect your awareness of life, surroundings, YOU. From my personal experience, mediation helps to unify the body, mind and soul. For those, who are skeptical about existence of a soul can narrow the channel down and experience another improvements like enhancing memory and learning processes. According to the study "Mindfulness practice leads to increases in regional brain gray matter density" published in the journal Psychiatry Research , "Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), one of the most widely used mindfulness training programs, has been reported to produce positive effects on psychological well-being and to ameliorate(улучшать) symptoms of a number of disorders." The reaserchers studied the result of Magnetic Resonanse of brains of 16 healthy participants prior and post the practice of MBSR, and compared the the brain function with a waiting list control group of 17 individuals. The results suggest that participation in MBSR is associated with changes in gray matter concentration in brain regions involved in learning and memory processes, emotion regulation, self-referential processing, and perspective taking. Here we are! Slowly tuning back time, repeating the cycle of life. First we try hard to improve all the aspects of our lives using technology and natural resources. Than,stress ,infantile being and unhealthy living break us down,and withdraw the energy. Our sensitive, ill, weak, emotionless bodies are looking for a cure. The cure is hidden with our ancestors. Natural remedies, essential and healthy nutritional choices,spirituality and TIME (which is real when we do not rush to live, accomplish, compete)are the powerful allies. Thus,you can meditate every minute, hour, day. Meditation is concentration, excluding anything what is disturbing. Meditate while working, meditate, while, walking down the street, meditate, while cooking, meditate with your friends, meditate while making love ... it will rise you high and let of personal and social roots.
