Why Meditate?

Wednesday 24 February 2010


The benefits of meditation are many, and an important part to yogic practice. It helps us to obtain both physical and mental benefits, and quite importantly, it helps us to find inner peace and happiness, helping us to deal with a world of issues.

Everyone wants to be happy, and people often go searching for happiness through external factors, for example-'If I had more money I'd be happier', or 'If I had a better job or new car I'd be happier'.

Although these things may please you, it will only be a short term achievement, and the search for happiness will continue with more material objects being desired. Searching for happiness cannot be found through external happiness.

The key to finding happiness is to find it within ourselves as each person is unique it is important to look within and to find what truly makes us happy.
Meditation helps us to make time and find peace and calmness in hectic, fast paced lifestyles. People often think they don't have time to meditate, but often with the practice of meditation, (no matter how little a time initially) a person realises there is more time.
