Friends i have felt the differences. The 100 benefits are really true. please try it and u will see the difference yourself. i always keep asking the question why people meditate and used to laugh at those who practice it. i have started meditating and i have experienced the differences in only one day. Since my chilhood i have always been deprived of love and affection. With time i had become someone who always hate others. i didnt have respect for elders and even my parents. nobody loved me bcoz of my poor character. i was always a lonely person even in school nobody loved me.I have been suffering form anxiety, lack of confidence,ego etc and panic attacks bcoz of this loneliness.I was loosing my memory and couldnt concentrate on my studies. My performance at school had gradually started to detoriates. Yes i had started becoming insane and kept talking to myself. This is not a story to force you to do meditation its my true life Today thanks to meditation i have been relieved of all these problems. I am more confident about myself and have a good personality. if u r a lonely person dont worry and start meditation. u will start loving yourself and others will love u too for sure. i have experienced it. u will have a cool attitude and a softness will be automatically created in your conversation. yes meditation is about self healing. If u really want to have a good personality start meditation. Trust me it will help you. ITS A GIFT FROM GOD. The KEY factor to take into consideration when practicing meditation is CONCENTRATION. If u dont concentrate when meditating it will be useless to do it. You wont be benefited. 18. fred255 says: May 18, 2010 at 8:32 pm thank you so much for sharing your story.unquestionably, meditation can change lives! 19. weight loss pills says: May 20, 2010 at 4:52 am The benefit's available of meditation are quite few while i think there are numerous other given in the blog. 20. silvermoon says: June 22, 2010 at 2:55 pm Decreases the aging process???

Now please explain how meditation is supposed to do that. Nope, i definitely do not support that one. You will continue to age, so far no one has been able to stop that process, not even meditation. The author lost credibility with that one. 21. MariaSantoferraro says: June 24, 2010 at 11:50 pm Wow I always enjoy a top ten list, but this list of 100 is awesome! Reading this motivates me to keep up my practice of meditation. I'll be linking to this article from my blog as well thanks! 22. Sarenaemily says: July 10, 2010 at 12:22 am Silvermoon: The effects of meditation on the aging process have to do with DHEAS levels in the brain and increased amount of gray matter. 23. Emon says: August 18, 2010 at 5:03 pm Brilliant selection of benefits. It truley is amazing how beneficial meditation is, and the fact that it requires nothing but your person to practice it. I found a great selection of music if anyone likes meditating to it, http://sixby9.co.uk/music/benefits-of-meditatio In fact that's how i found this website as they link to this article for the complete list of benefits from meditation.

David Wronski says: September 17, 2010 at 9:58 pm Well, there is a downside to meditationyou will have to give up your illusions and attachments to the false. But, in time, that should be as straightforward as falling off the proverbial log. 27. Pysh_panchal says: September 18, 2010 at 5:32 pm whenever i did,i feel like heaven. 28.

But What Am I Supposed To Concentrate On? Please Reply. 32. Anonymous says:

December 2, 2010 at 1:52 am You can try simply focusing on your breath, preferably on the outflow. Just listen to the sound, or if there is no sound, the act of attempting to listen will work. If it helps, you can count (softly, in your head) from one to ten, then back to one, one count on each outward breath. Let that breath entirely fill your consciousness. Remember, nothing really is meant to happen during meditation. Just relax, and focus on your breath. Just turning up to practice is better then worrying about doing it right. 33. Bhupathi Ds says: December 20, 2010 at 12:05 pm nery nice 34. Dr.Sivasubramaniam says: January 9, 2011 at 2:20 pm Meditation related to Soul.

Meditation benefits says: January 19, 2011 at 3:51 am Besides all benefits the biggest benefit of meditation as you said,its free from any special equipment usage,when you would have some practice you can meditate whenever and where-ever you could. I was searching about these benefits too,you did a great job,as no need to go further. In my opinion killing stress is the single most effective benefit,but as i am growing these seem to be endless. Its a great post indeed. 36. saba says: January 26, 2011 at 3:29 am So we should no look further to be calm and stress free according to the list you have provided.For me staying focus is the no 1 benefit of meditation.

Dr Rashid Yusof says: March 1, 2011 at 11:33 pm Focusing on God or His Attributes would gives a better result.It is even better to use as the mantra.Additionally it becomes an important part of prayer or glorifying God which God Himself advocates.For People of the Book ,refer to all His Books such as the Old Testament/New Testament/THE READING/Palm ect.What can be better from focusing to God? 39. gurubhargavi.v says: March 5, 2011 at 9:32 pm i will joining to classes 40.

Im doing a report for school that includes benefits of meditation. I find your list interesting, but I was wondering where you got your information? Studies, perhaps? I would really appreciate your time in writing to me to let me know! Have a great day. 44. cindy says: April 14, 2011 at 10:21 am As a longtime dynamic meditation practitioner (Silva Method) I am noticing lately that my bad temper has undergone a big change. What I mean is, I am much less reactive and much more patient and understanding. Because I live in NY I can hardly walk out the front door without getting into it, if I choose to do so. Now I find myself pausing to say in my mind, usually at the point in a personal encounter where it is about to turn nasty, is this worth fighting over?, or howzabout this person has stresses and challenges and, maybe we dont need to slug it out on the bank line? You see where Im going? I dont get that knot in my gut that comes from just having gone ten rounds with someone at the super market. And whoa I dont even need to be RIGHT about stuff anymore. Although I have also experienced deeper sleep, enhanced learning, and many other health benefits, this fresh perspective on human relations and how I might handle them in new ways..well, its golden! 45. KOSKEI says: April 15, 2011 at 10:53 am I have been meditating un aware of all these benefits i usually sleep well after an evening meditation, thanks for composing this atticle. 46. barat rn says: May 17, 2011 at 6:36 pm its awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 47. presidnone says:

I will continue meditating every day if it only helped me cut back on cigarettes. Ive quit marijuana from meditating Meditation is my drug that gets my high without the usage of marijuana. 48. raj says: May 25, 2011 at 1:25 am is it sure tht increase in the capacity for intimate contact with loved ones plz reply 49.

This encourages me to meditate more often constantly, of course. I thank you from the bottom of my heart God bless! 55. Mickey B says: July 5, 2011 at 7:41 pm So many people today try to lose weight or start a new business without realizing the first thing they need to do is get their mind right. Meditation is so important for us, but too few people are getting the word out. Thank you for your efforts. 56. Fran Rushie says: July 9, 2011 at 12:14 am I started meditating 10/6/1073 when I was 25 years old and I had some very beneficial results for 14 years. I made the mistake of quiting for about 11 12 years and I was floundering again and my life was empty. I started meditating again in 1999 or 2000 and I am even appreciating the meditation more than the first time around. I meditate morning and night from 10 20 minutes and it helps me live in the present. I meditate with Roy Masters meditation that is more of a Christian Judao meditation and I think it should be taught in schools at an early age. I love the fact that you have listed all the benefits and I am experienceing all those 100 benefits. All my bad habits have been easy to stop and I feel free. I dont react to pressure anymore and I see clearly enough to handle every situation with calmness and patience. Thank you for listing all the benefits of meditation. Fran Rushie 57. Dr.A.Jagadeesh says:

July 13, 2011 at 7:29 pm Excellent guidance on Meditation and its benefits.Especially in this fast world where stress is the order of the day,meditation is the only way to have peace of mind. Here are glorious thoughts on Meditation by Swami Swaroopananda: High up above the mountains clouds gather and begin to shower rain upon the mountains. The pure rain that comes from the heavens above forms a pool or a lake which is crystal clear. If you look into it you will see your own reflection. But, unfortunately, the waters at the top of the mountain do not stay in their crystal pool but start trickling down the sides of the mountain in small streams. As these streams of water flow down they begin to meet one another and the stream grows bigger and bigger, gathering to itself soil and tiny pebbles. Rushing down the mountain, meeting other streams, picking up dirt, pebbles and rocks, becoming noisier and noisier it continues, till finally it reaches the plains as a mighty river, flowing at great speed, gushing to waste itself into the salty ocean waters and losing, at last, even its sweetness. In the same way, the mind in its essential nature is absolutely pure. But just as the water trickles down the mountain, the mind, drawn by the attractions and temptations of sense objects, trickles down from its pure, blissful nature towards transient pleasures. As it moves that little streak of thought becomes a mighty river, large with the quantity of thoughts, muddy in its quality. It will lose itself in the vast ocean of sense objects or subtle sense pleasures. We have to tame this river of the mind and bring it back to its essential source, its essential nature and experience the divinity reflected in it. The uphill climb may not be as easy as the downhill flow. First of all, it will have to give up all its heavy materials the rocks, pebbles and mud. With this excess material eliminated, its quantity is changed and it cannot help but change its quality. When it reaches the top, with all its impurities removed it is crystal clear again and the infinite blue of the Heavens is reflected in its bosom. In the same manner, we must make a firm decision to lead the mind back to its source, its home, its pure state of calm and peaceful beauty. This must be a conviction. It must be a decision. Once we have given the mind a direction we should slowly and steadily remove all the impurities and excesses of the mind. All spiritual practices are performed to attain this condition of the mind. Meditation is one such practice that purifies the mind. When beginning on the path of meditation, it is not necessary to stop thinking altogether. The attempt of the seeker should not be to stop the thoughts, but rather, to divinise the thoughts, to change the quality and, to some extent, reduce the quantity of thoughts. At this moment our minds are full of agitations, worries, anxieties and emotions that create turmoil. All these tendencies or emotions that disturb the mind at the seat of meditation must be temporarily put aside. 58. Dr.A.Jagadeesh says:

July 13, 2011 at 8:44 pm Excellent. Everybody needs to adopt the guidelines on MEDITATION. 59. sreedhar says: July 20, 2011 at 3:45 pm thanks for this website and thanks for all your valuable thoughts.

Swmeer Khot says: September 5, 2011 at 12:22 am I practice Vipassana Meditation daily for 1 hour to 2 hours as time is permissble since last 3 months. I had taken thr 10 day course for my first kick start otherwise it is not possible to start without do it all alone and without motivation. I have been doing it daily basis sometimes I miss a day but its okay. In these 3 months I quit my alcohol addiction completly. Before doing this course I tried to quit the habit but it was all in vain. But now I am a changed man. I found myself highly relaxed after each session and it lasts for hours. I found myself my relationship with others have changed. I feel myself more energized and stress free. Now it is very easy for me remove unnecessary thoughts and focus on some point for some time for sure. I highly recommend to who is reading this just get yourself a good coach and start doing it a daily practice. Just keep in mind that as we do cleaning of our physical body by bathing everyday we should clean our mind everyday by practising meditation. It is the gateway to the heaven. svkhot@ovi.com

Morten says: September 20, 2011 at 7:05 pm As John mentions, there is one very serious side-effect of meditation that fortunately is extremely rare. It is called the Kundalini Syndrome, and is the premature release of a bodily energy that can be spontanously activated through meditation. I experienced a minor awakening of this energy, and it was extremely disruptive and absolutely terrifying. As stated above, it is very rare, and affects less than 1% of all people who meditate. Yet I would advise you to read this article so you can recognize the side effects in case you activate it prematurely:

Cathy says: October 31, 2011 at 8:35 am I LOVE this! I have been contemplating meditation for quite some time now not for lack of benefits but lack of time. I am a freelance writer and work with site owners among many others so my time is so limited. I have a hard time clearing my mind and the last time I tried to meditate (about five years ago) I cried because I got so upset that I couldnt. That was all after a very traumatic event so I am hoping that it works out better this time around. Thank you for sharing all of the wonderful benefits of meditation! 71. v.chandramouli says: November 4, 2011 at 11:04 am spectacular!everyone should do meditation. 72. Lorraine says:

November 10, 2011 at 3:35 am Meditation truly is the key to healing. I began it all wrongI watched youtube videos- read books, bought CDs, attended a workshop and became utterly frustrated. My energy was always in a seeking mode. I finally realized that meditation is not about DOING it is about stillness and connection to the beautiful spirit that resides within. I agree your list of advantages are SO beneficial- and I have to add that everyone can meditate for FREE. 15 mins daily in silence pushing all thought aside and just floating on nothingness. I use this as tool to bring creativity to work as an illustrator and a writer. Thank you for this blog- fantastic! 73. Ramesh.B says: November 26, 2011 at 6:30 pm read the benefits of meditation,I follow Vedhathri Maharishis simple yoga techniques for last 6 years& it gives immense happiness ,meditation is the life line no doubt,kundalini has to be practiced under guidance then only one can experience,automatically it cannot be felt. 74.

Guided Meditation says: December 25, 2011 at 6:10 pm That is really fascinating that you could find so many benefits with meditation, but meditation sure is the greatest way to heal the body and the mind and to live a healthy life. I sure love to meditate and feel so much more at peace when

meditating on a daily basis. Great post! Jessica T. 77. Chris says: January 3, 2012 at 3:27 am Great post, it really does put into perspective just how many benefits meditation brings. The word Meditation and Medicine come from the same root. Medicine refers to that which heals the body and Meditation refers to that which heals the spirit and the inner world. I think that if you can heal your spirit or mind then the body has a way of following. Therefore I think meditation is the most beneficial of all practices. 78. jouri says: January 6, 2012 at 4:49 am can anyone tell me what is exactly kundalina syndrome ? do you feel it while meditating ? 79. sitaram dhandhania says: January 8, 2012 at 2:29 am 8th Dec 2012. What i feel is Prayer is when we talk to God ! Meditation is when God talk to us ! Can anybody name a person below the sun, who would not be interested in listening to GOD ? At last, message for the new comers No knowledge is knowledge unless experienced . Love to all Sitaram Dhandhania.

During your day, in between meditations, pay close attention to your feelings and thoughts this will lead you to a happier lifeseriously. And by the way, for those who questions that meditations decreases aging process it does. It doesnt stop our aging process, it SLOWERS it. 81. jayw says: February 5, 2012 at 4:49 am Ive been reading all the comments and i am very fascinated i am willing to give meditation a try, please i would like comments on how i could start if there is a required amount of time or if there are eBooks i could download that would help me reply would be most appreciated thanx. 82. Will says: February 13, 2012 at 1:59 pm Thanks for the thorough list of benefits, which is more than enough to encourage everyone to meditate. To master meditation, means to concentrate, prioritize, focus and control. The time for meditation is also important. I think a good time to relax through meditation is immediately after workout, which can help to recover faster and help all the benefits from exercising to sink in the body. 83. Subhash says: February 16, 2012 at 3:19 pm I did meditation daily after seeing these benefits and there is incredible change I am suffering from asthamatic bronchitis And now i am feeling good . I think every person if meditate about god daily then there is no violence in world 84. Anonymous says: February 19, 2012 at 4:23 am Ive been meditating for about a year now and Im a different person. I experience emotion differently than I used to. But in addition to meditating what really helped

was this book called Wheres My Zen? It has principles to help you see the world differently. When I meditate I tell myself to keep following them. I found the book on amazon but if you google it you can download a pdf for free on the authors site. 85. Andrew says: March 9, 2012 at 1:47 pm The simple fact that so many people say that they dont have the time or the patience to meditate underscores just how much they (we) need to find the time and space in our lives for meditation. I know that the time and energy I invest meditating returns multiplied. 86. EFTitalia says: March 9, 2012 at 1:55 pm Excellent list of benefits. I think there are even more. I use several energy-psychology techniques which can help clear resistance and bring me back to a state of balance and flow. These techniques always work better when you are able to learn how to allow you thoughts to flow and how to let go of them with acceptance and non judgement such as is required whilst meditating. Meditation is the ideal kind of training which enables these releases and freedom. 87. Andrew says: March 15, 2012 at 6:02 pm Meditation allows us to get back to who we really are, beneath all of the mind chatter and it enables us to find and sit with that infinite well or source of peace, love, compassion, patience and joy. As is mentioned above the benefits of doing this are manifold. 88. Om says: March 20, 2012 at 9:24 am I have been meditating since last 2 months and I found good changes in me; like I feel lot with energy. But second thing my hair loss is increasing day by day. What might be the problem? 89. Jeanette says:

March 28, 2012 at 12:21 am I have tried to meditate on and off for years and attended many retreats. I have recently started it again and this time i am loving it and getting all the benefits. I think i have stuck at it this time is because i have had no expectations (when sitting down on my cusion) but i have still had determination to put the effort into my practice. You do not have to be a spiritual guru to do this. Anyone can do it. I started it about two months ago as i was studying and working long hours at the same time. This increased my stress levels at work so i thought meditation would help reduce the stress levels. Meditation has reduced my stress levels and i have got many other benefits too. I am less reactive and i am more confident. I guess the negative self image is not so strong now. Anyway i have finished my course and i will still carry on, its too good to stop. 90. cherry says: April 3, 2012 at 9:30 pm guys i psychologically feel that meditation is nothing but a reflection of our mind power which eventually leads to god even if god doesnt exist 91. sujesh says: April 9, 2012 at 8:58 am Hi friends, 2 years ago I was seriously affected by psychology defectiveness. I had great losses in business and relationship, I tried to commit suicide but I was brought to the hospital and saved. I then was under psychiatric observation, while a person was talking and looking at my condition which I was very weak physically and emotionally advised me to start meditation, I started meditating by then. I meditate as much as I can daily. Tremendous change in my emotional level and physical energy, within a year I quit medication. Now Im healthy both emotionally and physically and having wonderful relationship with my family and friends. All the benefits listed above can be clearly seen in me now and Im still continuing meditation. My advise every person should apply meditation in their daily life to have perfect balance and happiness in all matter. 92. Tanmay Kumar Panda says: April 18, 2012 at 7:51 pm My mind is so stable after meditation, i have the power to do any thing, my thinking is totally changed, before meditation i have good qualities and bad qualities also, but after doing that i slowly leave the bad qualities and improve the goodness of a human being. After that i help people a lot, doing things happily a lot, spread love and care everywhere. Finally I said MEDITATION IS THE BEST

MEDICINE, with no side effects, if you never do start today for a better, peaceful, happy life 93. Meditation says: April 21, 2012 at 6:36 pm What a great list of benefits. To the guy who was talking about meditation being dangerous, that is because some people dont do it in moderation most humans arent even capable of meditating that long. 94. khuman singh chundawat says: May 2, 2012 at 4:20 pm dear one , meditation is such a beautiful instrument for life.it has 100 benefits!i surperised thank you very much for all this 95. Steve Rasenmher says: May 10, 2012 at 8:13 pm i hear about meditation everywhere. its soo good for your body and mind blabla. i even believe them, but it is so damn hard to start it (im very lazy xD). on one side i think its very childish (dont ask me why but i somehow have that feeling) and on the other side i really know nothing about it (what actually is meditation? do you have to sit or do u have to close the eyes? and so on). so: is there anywhere a beginners guide or something? 96. Glenn A. Kirby says: May 12, 2012 at 9:41 am Dont complicate a simple process practiced by man for thousands of years-forget all the trappings that the gurus recommend.Be simple in your approach to meditation:practice concentration,close your eyes and think of some high personage or the Master Christ himself.Start this daily for 15 minutes each time.I have also found that prayer puts you in meditation mode within a short space of time of seconds and minutes.. 97. mahendra jain says: May 15, 2012 at 11:28 am Dear steve ., just go through the video u fill find all the douts clarifies .,

98. Nelson says: May 22, 2012 at 2:49 am Meditation is a way to tune our bodies, much like you would tune an instrument, the body and mind being our instruments. So the greatest benefit of meditation is the benefit of enabling us to fine tune and control the systems that run our lives. 99. pankaj kumar gupta says: May 26, 2012 at 12:37 am meditation is wonderful gift of god to human being for ex EDUCATION IS A TOOL WHICH BRINGS PEACE,PROSPERITY TO HIMSELF TO SOCIETY AS WELL AS NATION,SIMILAR WAY MEDITATION IS A TOLL WHICH 1.
