Meditation is a state of consciousness; an altered state of consciousness. In its technical definition, meditation is the controlled modification of a person’s brainwaves. When you are able to coax your brainwaves into the Alpha or Theta range you experience “meditation”.

But I believe that the meditative experience is more than just a shift in our brainwaves. This shift in the brainwaves is just the physical aspect of a discipline that is so much more.

Meditation is a time when you let go, disconnect from your physical body and senses and explore your true self, your source.

But how does meditation benefit us? Well, there are many benefits that you will experience when you incorporate meditation into your daily regimen. There are too many to list, but I’ll give you a few:

Physical Benefits

· Lowered blood pressure

· Improved immune system functioning

· Decreased need for sleep

· Increased energy

· Lowering of your stress levels

Emotions

· Feeling of bliss

· Facilitates a shift in perspective allowing a more positive outlook on life.

· Eases changes in habits

· Helps you keep your temper in check

· Increased focus

Spiritual

· Discover your connection to source

· Discover your true self

· Find your own answers to spiritual questions

· Out of Body Experiences (OBE)

I want to stress that most of these benefits are not just speculation but scientifically proven. I point this out to help you make the decision to start a meditation routine. I think these benefits are a pretty good reason to start, don’t you?

In the next section I will go over the basics of meditation. Breathing, posture, hand position and more.
