Meditation Wisdom – the Key to Stress Free Living

Are you stressed? Do you feel your job is stressful?

I get it! For years I was experiencing stress at work and I was feeling overwhelmed. So much so that my health started to deteriorate and my journey to healing started.

I was extremely fortunate that I found a program called Meditation Made Simple created and taught by Vikas Malkani, the World’s #1 Wisdom Coach.

The wisdom and techniques of meditation that I learned in this program literally changed my life. I started seeing the benefits from day 1. Soon I was in the same job situation with the same load of work but I wasn’t stressed out any more. The wisdom and techniques really worked!

Fast forward to a few years later, I am teaching the same program that changed my life to others and I coach people to live a happy and stress free life, using the wisdom and techniques that I learned from Vikas Malkani.

I continued studying wisdom and meditation ever since I attended the very first course (Meditation Made Simple). It is my passion and my mission now to share this life changing wisdom with as many people as I can and change many more lives for the better.

We often suffer from stress, anxiety, unhappiness, … unnecessarily. If we know and apply the right wisdom as we go through the journey of our life, it will be a smooth and enjoyable journey.

Wisdom of meditation is the treasure that makes the journey of life enjoyable for us, rather than struggling with stress and anxiety. Life is too short to be struggling, don’t you think?

Meditation Wisdom for Stress Free Living

Last weekend I was taking a walk in nature in a beautiful park in the heart of Sydney. This picture is a photo I took to share with you.

As I was walking, I noticed my mind and my body is going deeper in a relaxed state. Spending time in nature is very beneficial and it has magnificent calming and healing effects. It has many lessons for us to learn as well.

When you spend some time in nature and you pay attention to it, you will notice everything looks peaceful, at ease, with no hurry. The birds, the trees, the lake, everything is calm and peaceful. There is no sense of hurry in nature.

This sense of being at ease is a natural way to be. However, we human beings are distancing ourselves from this aspect of our nature. Somehow we forgot the art of being at ease. We have usually a sense of hurry, trying to catch up with life, doing one thing after another, leaving no quality time for ourselves and to connect with our natural sense of calm and being at ease.

And stress is the outcome. When you look at nature, you will not find trees or birds stressed out. But we as humans are experiencing some sort of stress every day in our life. We even consider it as a natural part of life. A little bit of stress is ok and it drives us to achieve more, but excessive stress is not natural and it is harmful to our health and the quality of our life.

Nature can be an excellent teacher and an excellent healer for us to learn how to be at ease and to bring our body and our mind back to balance, to its natural state.

When you find yourself stressed, it is a good idea to spend some time in nature and benefit from its calm energy and maybe learn lessons from it.

Wisdom of meditation teaches you how to be stress free and at the same time reach your maximum potential.

3 Benefits of Meditation

Meditation is getting increasingly popular as more and more of its benefits is being shown by science and experienced by people.

But what is meditation and why is it so popular?

Meditation is an ancient practice that has been around for thousands of years. It is a mental exercise that calms down your mind and relaxes your body. It is a scientific process that trains your mind to learn to be focused.

Meditation has many benefits. Science in the past few decades is increasingly pointing out to effectiveness of meditation in almost every area of our life.

Here are 3 of the many benefits of meditation.

1- Meditation lowers stress
Meditation reduces activity of the amygdala, that is part of our brain responsible for fight or flight response and stress. Meditation is therefore a natural antidote to stress.

2- Meditation improves memory
Meditation, at the same time, increases activity in prefrontal cortex, the part of our brain that is responsible for cognitive function, such as learning, memory and decision making. Regular practice of meditation strengthens this part of the brain and improve our cognitive function.

3- Meditation increases focus and concentration
As mentioned above, meditation strengthens our prefrontal cortex and improves our cognitive function, including focus. Having focus and concentration is a determining factor in our life, as it helps having more mental clarity that is the fundamental step in living our life.

Add meditation to your daily routine to enjoy its many benefits and improve your experience of life by simple practices that take little time to do but are highly effective.

Grow with Wisdom

 

I love this quote from my teacher and my coach, Vikas Malkani, “You will never find yourself on top of the mountain if you don’t take yourself there.”

I am blessed to be flying to Singapore soon to attend Higher Teachings course by Vikas Malkani to take myself higher on the mountain.

Growth is a continuous process. And we grow by learning. Learning stretches our mind and expands our life.

Do you say yes when you find an opportunity to learn something new and expand your mind and your life?

“You will never find yourself on top of the mountain if you don’t take yourself there.” It’s a deep quote to ponder upon!
