How does Meditation Affect YOU?
It helps me connect with my higher or inner or god self.I get many answers and directions in meditation.
It also leaves me feeling great,at peace, no problem in the world after I meditate and I must add exercise.
It helps me in my concentration and gives me energy to carry out my work, would go into a suspended animation state every day while writing and this would help me communicate with god or the cosmos with clarity.
Most importantly its was while practicing one pointed concentration or meditation that I got enlightened , became a knower of god of my real self.God is within and outside of me as well. The deepest fabric I am made of as well as the cosmos.This is my higher or inner intelligence which pervades everything.
Communicate , I get answers to my questions and directions, it comes to me.
I appreciate the essence of all religions which teaches mans essence is god , his source and the place he goes to when he dies.Being one with this super entity which is actually you is a state of absolute bliss.
I was into martial arts for many years, now days I swim in the mornings and then meditate.Just move all your muscles basically.
Its is said one should start the day with meditation and then proceed with other things but I like swimming first and then meditating as I mediate better .
I would suggest exercise and then meditate.Even sitting requires your muscles control and after exercising it comes naturally.
Suspended animation is when you still completely to the extent that you stop breathing as well.This takes practice as you keep meditating your breath will slow down a lot. The gaps between your breaths will get longer and longer, this moment between breaths is when one can go into a stat of suspended animation and be extremely creative.
Answers and directions in life, from small to big decisions, in my meditation it as revealed to me to become a poet.
Initially meditation for even a few minutes is very difficult ,just sitting still is difficult.Concentrate on a point of light or star between your eyebrows with your eyes closed, also focus on your breath.This takes practice and initially one gets a lot of distracting thoughts , keep practicing and with time you will be able to meditate for a longer period of time with less distractions. Find a quiet place and be regular with the time you meditate.
Meditation is connecting with your core , your concentration and will power will increase as well as your ability to make the right choice or decision.It will help you materially and spiritually. You will know your source where you have come from, what is the meaning of god and where you will go when you die, you will lose your fear of death .It will give you direction in life, may be a higher purpose.
Yes writing for me was lifting a big weight of my shoulder, I had to share the god knowledge I had gained.This may not be the same for you as you may have some other gift, some other purpose and you will know what to do after meditating.
Praying is similar to mediation and improves your concentration as well. There are two ways to say prayers out aloud and silent , the silent way being more difficult and more powerful.I would say prayer is like a stepping stone to meditation.Your very essence is god or a very fine light love ,intelligent tissue, this pervades the cosmos as well, god is omnipresent, present everywhere.
From god comes all, in fact you are everything, all is you.
What happens is you get clarity in meditation, so many thoughts keep passing our minds , which one is the correct thing to do becomes clear.You still your thoughts , till the most prominent one is left.
You can dance, , do martial arts which are all in a way meditation where the ultimate goal is union with god.
You have dynamic meditation which is movement and static meditation which is being still.I gained enlightenment while sitting but I have heard of various masters reaching this state with dynamic meditation.
Intuition is very important its a key to life , this is your god self conveying message to your human self but one needs to have the ability to pick it up.This keeps getting stronger and you keep having more faith in your intuition.
Yes running is awesome and so are push ups, you are working your brain as well and not only muscles when exercising.
Suspended animation is what the mystics make use of to create, you are totally in tune with god a state almost similar to samadhi(enlightenment). This is when I would get my words while writing, I needed to be in a trance in order to write poetry.
To start with a few minutes will be difficult.I remember when I started 2 minutes seemed so long and I would often fall asleep, which is one way a danger. One needs to be totally relaxed same state as sleep but with awareness.Now I do 30 min in te morning and 30 min in the night before sleeping, anything less is not sufficient for me now.
I prefer meditating with no sound, I believe music however calming is a distraction.It takes practice and time, keep meditating and regularly is the key.According to Patanjali anything you do regularly at the same time every day becomes dhyan or meditation.
Yes prayer is beneficial , repeating of mantras does change your frequency or vibration and connects you more with god.The Muslims pray five times a day in order to continuously keep that connection with god.
Sound of nature over music as I tend to listen to the words which is distracting for me.
I am pleased to answer your questions and any sincere seekers questions, it is my job.
