World Meditation Day 2024: In a world where Google offers answers to almost everything, one thing it cannot provide is the transformative power of vibrations. As Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar beautifully explains, our vibrations carry immense significance. Yet, no one teaches us how to enhance them or handle negative emotions like heartbreak, jealousy, or anxiety. Meditation emerges as the ultimate password to access happiness and inner peace.
Why Meditation is Essential for a Happy Life
Meditation helps us overcome the restlessness that prevents us from experiencing true joy. It acts like a duster, clearing the mental clutter of past emotions and interactions, allowing us to be present in the moment. This practice helps us find balance amidst the chaos of life.
How Anger and Negativity Impact Your Well-being
Daily interactions often expose us to negativity, making us irritable and angry. These emotions harm our brain by reducing dopamine and serotonin levels while increasing cortisol, the stress hormone. Gurudev explains that meditation and Pranayam (rhythmic breathing) can break this cycle. With regular practice, anger becomes fleeting—like a line drawn on water that vanishes instantly.
Sow Positive Seeds Before You Sleep
Gurudev emphasises the importance of ending the day with positive thoughts and gratitude. What we think before sleeping acts as seeds that grow into our mood the next morning. A meditative practice before bed fosters relaxation and positivity, ensuring a fresh start each day.
