Both our mind and body get tired in the pace of daily life. Not relaxing
the mind causes stress and other problems to occur. Therefore, many methods can
be used for the mind. One of them is meditation.
Meditation reduces stress
Meditation is an effective healing method for freeing and resting the
mind. When meditation is done regularly, it creates positive effects on the
brain. Meditation has healing properties in many areas, especially in the
spirit and mind development of human beings. Meditation takes away the stress
and bad energy on the person and directs them to think more positively.
Meditation is a useful method in terms of clearing the mind. It also
increases a person's awareness by changing his perspective on life. It provides
a calming and resistance to events in the face of bad events, stressful moments
and panic that may be encountered in daily life.
Meditation is Effective Against Depression
Meditation has a healing effect against depression, just as it protects
your mood in stressful situations. Meditation loosens our neural connections in
the face of traumatic and scary events. When we encounter similar situations in
daily life, it helps protect you from this situation. It contributes to looking
at events more objectively instead of thinking more subjectively.
With meditation, we feel more secure in the face of events. As we begin
to look at events more logically, our brain's mechanism to evaluate situations provides
different perspectives on events.
Meditation Increases Focus
There are too many events or objects in everyday life to keep us busy. We
are exposed to many stimuli during the day, both for your body and soul.
Therefore, we may have difficulties with attention and focus. Meditation tries
to focus you on that moment by keeping you in the moment. In this way, it helps
you to increase your focus in daily life.
Meditation Strengthens Memory
In addition to increasing focus, meditation also strengthens memory.
Meditation reduces and reorganizes distracting brain waves. In this way, the
productivity of the brain increases and the memory becomes stronger in a short
time. Meditating people develop the ability to quickly recall and incorporate
new information.
Meditation Increases Creativity
Meditation is a practice that increases focus and awareness. Mindfulness
meditation, in particular, makes the mind more open to new ideas. Thus, your
perspective broadens and events can be viewed from different perspectives. The
broad perspective of awareness increases resilience to events. It helps to
increase resistance to stress and doubt. It ensures easier focus.
Meditation and Empathy Ability
Meditation helps to develop empathy and compassion towards people.
Meditation allows you to know and discover yourself. When you discover
yourself, you can understand and empathize with the people around you. Thus,
you can communicate with people more accurately.
Meditation Improves Compassion
The part of the brain that controls the emotional state develops a different response to the amygdala in response to regular compassion meditation. The amygdala develops as a result of more synchronized and regular activities during meditation. When you show compassion to yourself, you become more understanding. This way you will become more understanding towards both yourself and others.
