The science of what happens in our bodies as we meditate has forever fascinated me! Your body/mind is a really complex technology of which you are the operator.
When you first started driving a car, it’s more than likely that someone took the time to teach you how to operate that piece of technology. And while through practice you’ve become proficient at moving yourself from A to B, some people take that practice more seriously and go on to become highly professional at driving their machines on racecourses, making minute intuitive adjustments at speeds that boggle the mind.
When it comes to our human bodies and minds, most of us didn’t have the privilege of a great driving instructor to help grow us into skillful operators and we were mostly left in a space of, “well, figure it out as you go along…”
With most other technologies we have some degree of choice in whether we want to engage with it or not, but your human body IS your daily vehicle for the duration of your stay here. Why not become a pro at driving it?
“Meditation is that dimension of science which focuses on creating the right kind of interior, so that you can live a peaceful and joyous life.” – Jaggi Vasudev
“Both science and spirituality tell us today that meditation and mindfulness strengthen mental control. The more we feel conscious of, and in control of our thoughts and our emotions, the more empowered we become to take effective action that is most suitable for our health and our life.” – Evita Ochel
“You Need To Understand Both Science and Spirituality. The key is, learning how to combine the two so that you learn without limitation of what humans can measure, and don’t get carried away by all that you can imagine.” – Agape Satori
Just as a skilled driver can navigate complex road conditions with ease, a mindful individual can become proficient in navigating the intricate terrain of their own mind. Meditation, a practice as ancient as it is profound, offers a powerful tool for mastering this internal landscape.
When we meditate, we embark on a scientific journey within ourselves. Our brainwaves shift, our heart rate slows, and our breathing deepens. These physiological changes are not mere side effects; they are the very essence of the meditative experience.
Today’s meditation is a very practical journey through some of the processes that happen in your body while you meditate.
A few questions to reflect upon:
- What is my relationship with my body? Do I treat it with respect and gratitude?
- How can I incorporate more mindfulness into my daily life?
- What are the benefits of meditation for my mental and emotional health?
- How can I cultivate a more peaceful and joyous inner world?
Join today’s meditation and let’s embark on this journey together. Let’s explore the science of meditation, the art of self-awareness, and the magic of mindful living. By investing in our mental and emotional well-being, we can become the best versions of ourselves.
Have an awesome day!
