Meditation is a wonderful way to relax the mind. I know, because I learned to meditate. It’s easy, everyone can do it, and once you get the hang of it – you’ll love it!
The mind races at 50-60,000 thoughts per day. It has no “off button”. Even at night, the mind keeps going and produces the most wonderful – and sometimes horrible – dreams. When pleasant thoughts cross your mind, you automatically relax, all tension leaves your body and you feel great. After a pleasant dream you wake up refreshed and ready to take on the world. When something is bothering you, however, your thoughts become a prison – anytime you try to break out of it, the confining thoughts pop up again like barbed wire, keeping you confined to dwell on them. Your body tenses up and physical pain is added to the emotional pain that you are trying to rid yourself of. Meditation helps to break this vicious cycle.
When you practice meditation often, you will find that your self-interest and self-concern will change. Instead of dwelling on your Script and all the negativity associated with it, you will uncover inner resources of compassion and wisdom that will help you overcome obstacles and act in beneficial ways towards others as well. These activities will reduce your suffering, and the process will come effortlessly through the simple practice of meditation.
