\"Meditation-google\"<\/a>Meditation is vital to a healthy, happy and\u00a0successful life\u00a0and offers too many benefits to list here\u00a0in this blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

From The Truth Journal (April-May 2014) by Roy Eugene Davis:
\n<\/em>
\n<\/em>Many more people are learning to meditate.\u00a0 A full-page article in the November 16, 2013 issue of The Economist<\/em>, an internationally distributed news magazine, reported many people are being attracted to meditation as a way to function more effectively in an increasingly busy and stressful world.\u00a0 Many individuals and organizations are now actively promoting their forms of meditation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The dramatic surge of interest that occurred in the 1960’s has spread into mainstream western society.\u00a0 It is common to hear many medical doctors and other health professionals recommend meditation to their patient-clients.\u00a0 It is taught in healthy spas and other wellness centers.\u00a0 Thousands of people meditate privately at home and report they are healthier and happier than when they didn’t meditate.\u00a0 Meditation is also being taught to men and women whose military experiences resulted in severe psychological trauma.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mindfulness<\/em> meditation is one of the forms of practice publicized in the media.\u00a0 A more accurate description is attentiveness <\/em>meditation.\u00a0 One sits still, disinterested in thoughts or other perceptions or sensations.\u00a0 When mental activity becomes subtle, awareness becomes clear.\u00a0 When subliminal impulses that stimulate the mind stop, absolute (pure) consciousness can prevail.<\/span><\/p>\n

One key to skillful meditation practice is to do it regularly with alert attention until a positive response is obvious, such as deep relaxation, peace of mind, clarity of awareness, absence of anxiety, improved mental and intellectual abilities, an enhanced sense of overall well-being, or useful insights.\u00a0\u00a0 Spiritual awakening and growth is naturally experienced with a \u00a0regular, effective <\/em>meditation routine.<\/span><\/p>\n
