How Effective is Mindfulness and Meditation Mindfulness and meditation training has generated much excitement over recent years and won many admirers - so what does this very simple yet very effective practice benefit us with? It teaches us to develop a “new relationship” with our thoughts, self negative chatter is the number enemy of most people living the life they truly desire. There’s good evidence of studies reporting that meditation helps relieve our subjective levels of anxiety and depression, and improve attention, concentration, and overall psychological well-being, encourages a healthy lifestyle, increases self awareness, self acceptance and happiness.
So How Easy Is It To Meditate? I would like to address this as newbie’s to meditation you may have some struggle at the start, I certainly did when I started some advice if you are a newbie or are wanting to try meditation for the first time, be mindful of your expectation. It’s more about acceptance about being with what is and not resisting. Your goal is not to react or manipulate your experience in any way and about surrendering to what is. For most of us this can be challenging, what’s more it’s learning to let go and trust the process that is simple, which in many cases our logical minds are working overtime to complicate. Just relax and go with it.
Why Does Meditation Work Learning to train the brain and focus our attention is crucial to thriving and cultivating a peak performance in any endeavour. Long-time psychotherapist Dr. Ron Alexander, author of Wise Mind, Open Mind, speaks of MIND STRENGTH, or the resiliency, efficacy and emotional intelligence that arise as we begin the process of controlling the mind. Mind strength is one of the most empowering tools we can employ to impact and improve all aspects of life.
