Why Meditate??

Imagine a person overloaded with work, scrambling to meet a deadline or else stuck in traffic. In such situations, the muscles tense, breathing becomes shallow, person starts to sweat, the heart races and blood pressure rises. Most of the times the person may not be able to fight or flee – the two most natural responses to stress - such as in the case of traffic jam. Thus one would remain chronically tense. Unfortunately, it is next to impossible to live in 21st century and not ever be in a stressful situation. Humans across the globe are becoming more and more prone to this silent killer,called as Stress.

Stress can have effects on hormones,brain neurotransmitters, additional small chemical messengers elsewhere, prostaglandins, as well as crucial enzyme systems, and metabolic activities that are still unknown. There is a big possibility of stress resulting in some kind of health disease or mental unhappiness, if we don’t learn how to relax ourselves and increase our threshold for stress. Therefore it is really important for all of us to know how to calm down and increase our threshold for stress.

The solution is: Meditation!

 

 

Sahaja Meditationis a simple and spontaneous technique, which de-stresses mind, improves attention and brings inner peace and joy. Normally our mind keeps working and we keep having thoughts from past or the future as shown in this graph. But as we go into meditation, our thoughts slow down and there is a gap between the two thoughts that keeps widening. This is the gap when we do not think and our mind relaxes.This state of awareness is known as thoughtless awareness.
