What does meditation do for you??
Question: I am thinking about looking into meditation and I just wanted to see what the benefits are for the people who pratice it.
Answers: Meditation is quite the joy! Yes, once you get past the initial mastering of the self, thoughts and blockages, its a sweet ride.
Meditation has done a lot for me. Thanks to anon nature, I can frankly tell you I was quite a distraught fella, burdened and hopeless with no life: social or otherwise.
Meditation opened up blocked chakras, re-energized the inner being through union of Kundalini and Spirit and stopped the buzz of the brain.
Meditation brought humility of some good measure. Ability to understand and feel others. Ability to accept and be peaceful with belligerent people. Loosen up and see the humor behind it all.
Meditation has done quite it's bit my transforming me and there is a long path to go before everything's close to perfection. But the joy should come from the start.
Here is a good place to start, from the heart:

it clears your mind, and helps u focus
Helps you look at your thoughts objectively. Helps you focus. Develops your imagination (guided meditation).
re-centers me. relaxes me. meditation can be done however you want...prayer, reflection, silence, etc...
Well, meditation (whether a chant, a rosary or whatever) usually involves some time of rythmic repetition and it's that repetition that reportedly lowers blood pressure.
People who meditate generally feel calmer, better able to manage stress and have less trouble sleeping.
Hope that helps.
Benefits of meditation are: it helps you slow your mind down, tames the head weasles , allows you the space to ask a question that is bugging you, then clears the mind so it can come to you, it can help you to focus on healing aspects of pain in your body and project healing into them, it can help you send out healing thoughts to someone you want to heal. The most important aspect of meditation is preparation; teach yourself how to breathe first! Get comfortable, then force the air out of your lungs, now breathe in very deeply, but slowly. Pull the air all the way down into the bottom of your lungs, fill your lungs, soften your belly and allow the clean air to fill you entirely, then when you prepare to exhale, tuck in your diaphram, and force the air out from the bottom of your lungs first, up to the very top. Do this for at least five to ten breaths before you meditate. By now you should be completly relaxed. If not, try again and imagine that your toes are relaxing, then your feet,etc, til you get to the top of your head. THEN you will be totally relaxed!You will love this, I promise you. You can't be in a space where you are in a hurry though. Give yourself time. But start with the breathing and learn how to relax. It is YOUR meditation so there really isn't a right way.
The benefites of Meditation are many.
The whole aim of meditation is,
1. to calm your mind, and
2. to focus the mind on one thing.
Healthwise it will help you to control anger - high blood pressure patients will realise that their pressure is coming under control.
The mind of a normal person is like an uncontrolled monkey jumping from one thought to another. To process all these thoughts a lot of body energy is used. Thus if your mind cease to process thoughts you will be saving a lot of body energy which can be used to cure a lot of ailments in your body. That is why a person who continues to meditate regularly even gets a nice body complexion.
If you sit down and close your eyes you will notice that your mind is jumping from one thought to another. Even though you want to concentrate on your breath you will find other thoughts also coming in between.
In learning to meditate you must first learn to calm your mind. You do this by following every thought that comes into you mind. You must be like a Manager of a Hotel who stands at the entrance and observes the customers coming in. Without getting attached to the thoughts try to observe them. You will find that a thought comes in and that it goes nowhere and another thought follows it - try following that too - with same results. This way you will find that your thoughts gradually subside. Do not try to force out your thoughts.
Of course do not expect results in one or two days. Practise it for at least 40 minutes every day for at least 2 months you find that you have 'killed' your train of thoughts. I have practised for 1 1/2 years and still vagrant thoughts come in.
Thereafter start concentrating on your breath. Notice the breath coming in and going out. You should not concentrate only on the tip of your nose. Notice the breath coming in and thereafter your lungs getting filled and then gradually exhaling the breath.
After you finish that for the day start to think of a person or several persons whom you hate most. Having those people in mind start to think in a compassionate manner may he be healthy, may he be happy, may he go up in life, may he live long . Keep on doing this for about 10 minutes a day for a few months you will find that you do not get angry even when you have to get angry.
