Meditation Unlocks Your Hidden Potential

Meditation is often misunderstood by those who do not practice it. It is often referred to as, “altered states of consciousness.” This refers more to intoxicants rather than bringing clarity to a cluttered mind. Without going too deep into what meditation is, or is not, let’s focus on one of the many things that a daily meditation practice can do for you.

Meditation has been practiced by a variety of cultures, including Roman Catholic priests, as well as Japanese Samurai, who practiced a form of Zen meditation. It can therefore be seen that meditation has many facets.

There are many types of meditation but the easiest form to learn is ‘breath awareness meditation.’ Compared to many other meditation techniques this allows everyone to experience the benefits of meditation in much less time.

Meditation teachers usually compare the human mind to a monkey i.e. many thoughts run through the brain at the same time. It is difficult to control all of your impulses let alone sit still and meditate. So why go through all this trouble?

The regular practice of meditation has many rewards the most valuable of which is  releasing the unlimited potential of your mind. The ability to change, or alter the universe starts with a single thought. Some of the seeds to change the universe are locked in your mind and you have the ability to shape the future with small changes that you make.

Imagine having a friend, relative or colleague who cares for you deeply but, up to now, you have always taken him for granted. Can you imagine what would happen if you take the time to groom that relationship? You would have a loyal ally and all you had to do was to show kindness or appreciation.

You have the ability to alter your own personality and affect the world around you. Hopefully, your personality will always continue to change for the better; if so, this will alter everyone around you for the best.
