The Physical and Mental Benefits of Daily Meditation | PickTheBrain

In a modern world that values activity, achievements and results, it is perhaps surprising that more people are turning to meditation. For all the activity of modern society, many still feel a fundamental need for silence, inner peace, and a moment of reflection. Meditation can reduce stress and help us relax; but, it can also give us a lot more. These are some of the benefits that daily meditation can give us.

I’ve actually been meaning to write a post about meditation for some time, and kind of skirted the subject a bit in my post about Stopping, but Tejvan Pettinger at PickTheBrain got there first and did an excellent job.  

Meditation sounds esoteric (and it can be!) but at its root it is simply about stilling the mind and regaining some focus.  I can personally attest that when I meditate, my mental life is better.  It can also be a bit trying until you’ve done it for a while, but if you’re interested - try to stick to it for at least a couple of weeks (15-30 minutes a day is pretty ideal.)

And if you do, let me know!  I’d love to hear how it goes.
