Why meditate? Why not? Scientists study it and doctors recommend it. Why? Because it works! (Time Magazine), Millions of Americans meditate daily. The benefits of daily meditation are miraculous to say the least. Here is just a short list of the benefits of meditation:
*Reduces anxiety attacks
*Builds self confidence
*Increases joy by releasing serotonin
*Enhances energy, strength, and vigor
*Keeps blood pressure normal
*Reduces stress and tension
*Helps with weight loss
*Increased sense of calm and control in everyday life
*Increased feelings of relaxation and happiness
*Increase ability to concentrate
It is true; 10-15 minutes a day of meditation can, over time, make a drastic change in your life! It did in mine! I can hear you saying – when am I going to find the time? The kids, work, the spouse, the chores, ect. How can you take care of any of these things unless you find time to take care of yourself first? Meditation will allow all of the other things in your life to be easier, for you to be happier, healthier, and more focused! I say to you how can you not find time!
This truly amazing practice is absolutely free! It only takes commitment and time. There are plenty of places on the Internet to get downloads of free meditations! The one I found today is at project meditation.org and it is totally free at the following link: http://www.project-meditation.org/
Oprah recently had Jon Kabat-Zinn on her Soul Series to discuss the benefits of meditation and how this practice can teach you how to really live! You can watch these two interviews for free on Oprah's site .
Oprah has many other free meditations and awakening exercises on her site just for the taking – here you can find a list for finding inner peace.
If you just do a search for meditations on the Oprah site you can choose from a list of the type of meditations that are right for you.
There is a type of meditation that you can do without anything but your body. You can simply just sit still for 15 minutes and focus on keeping your body still. As you do this ego is kept busy and you can hear your thoughts slow down. This is where your soul resides. This is where your true power really is. There is a peace – a knowing – in this place. Take a chance and sit still for 15 minutes. Let your thoughts go where they will, do not judge them just let them be. Focus on not moving your body. As you practice this or another type of meditation daily you will witness the subtle changes in your life! Doctors recommend it and scientist study it! You however live it and reap the benefits! What are you waiting for??
I love you and wish you peace on your journey through meditation; you are going to love it!

Hello There, I love your website and I am very interested in exchanging links. The name of my blog is myspecial-place.com.
Thanks so much
We were just talking about patience on another site. I appreciate your guidance on meditation very much. It has been a hard thing to learn how to do when I always felt I hardly had enough time to sit down for 5 mins, let alone sit quietly and meditate for 5. It really does help though!
