Few things can never be explained, but they makes success run after you..
Meditation in my words is a simple exercise which takes your entire body’s attention for few moments towards yourself, makes you realise who you really are, what you have been doing and what you have to do. It all depends on the student, whatever he wants to learn, meditation teaches.
What is Meditation?
Meditation is centralizing your mind, heart and soul by concentrating at the deepest point of the mind known as tenth door by ending all connectivity with the outer world for few moments.
As I said earlier, meditation takes your entire body’s attention by making you mentally, physically and emotionally focused. Apart from these, meditation also has scientific benefits. So let’s check out how it helps us.

Physical Benefits of Meditation
- Stabilized blood pressure:
With meditation, your body gets time to retrieve energy. Our body’s working is directly connected to our mind and heart, which means it is connected to our thoughts too. With the process of meditation, our energy stabilizes and we reach the relaxation point where our thoughts are positive and that makes our blood pressure stabled.

- Stronger Heart and Mind:
A human mind and heart never rests after birth according to scientists’ research. These two organs start working when we enter this world and only stop when we leave this world. We can never let them stop but if they work regularly it will cause various health issues and decreased life span. They slow down for a few moments when we meditate. The organs get time to relax and later work with improved efficiency.
Spiritual Benefits of Meditation
Life has various twists and turns, but it isn’t possible to live without realizing ourselves. Meditation connects us to our soul and inspires us to stay conscious towards our life’s actual aim, which is to utilize our time doing something which is beneficial to others and us. Meditation isn’t a quick fix; rather it heals a person spiritually.
We all get a single chance to make a change and that single chance is this moment! Meditation, like a great teacher, teaches everything to the one who wants to learn.
