Meditation Facts and Myths - A Captivating Practice for Explore

February 21, 2019

We all know what meditation is. Meditation classes preach the benefits and oneness that the practice of meditation and emboldens many to join the route. But not many of us may know the myths that rotate around meditation sessions and most of them are never raised for closure in the meditation classes.

Myth 1:  Meditation is difficult.

Fact:  Meditation isn’t difficult at all. It is the process that may look difficult but most experienced trainers are of the unanimous opinion that meditation is fun and happy. Techniques are simple and often than not, they can be achieved just by simply sitting quietly and being aware of the surrounding. Sessions at the meditation classes are limited to time and therefore attaining the exactness in the session may apparently look difficult.

Myth 2: Quieter mind meditates only

Fact: The more effort one may give to make the mind quiet, the more jammed and lurid the mind may seem. No, the mind is not required to be shut down. Think and think and think a lot and as much as you can. Let random thoughts knock you and let them come.  Pushing away the thoughts will end up clogging the path. Enjoy and concede the thoughts and let them pass.

Myth 3: Only extended session gives benefits

Fact: The effect of meditation is instantaneous and long term. Instantly one may feel light in the mind but the light in the soul comes through a practised session.  And the journey of the light from mind to the soul in unknown and untraced. It just happens. There is no special effort or focus apart from meditating recurrently and outside the limited hours of meditation classes.

Myth 4: Meditation is escaping reality

Fact: The purpose of meditation never states to get away with the problems. It only emboldens one to get closer to the problem and know the self-worth in understanding the problem.  Meditation just allows one to choose the way to react to the problem. May sound easy but with wrapped up emotions, reacting to even a trivial problem or situation can be tricky. Meditation just abridges the process.

Myth 5: How to manage time?

Fact: Meditation is just like any other normal process of a habitat. Like we do not skip having to eat or sleep, similarly, we can never skip having a blissful meditation session. There are extremely busy people doing meditation without fail and for a few who have absolutely nothing to do, meditation looks like a time-consuming process. It’s all about how are we ready to change our material priorities to keep our well being as the number one a priority.

Myth 6: Meditation is a religious gimmick

Fact: Meditation classes can be systematized by every religious expert to talk and discourse faith, hope and peace. However, the process is not restricted to any religion. It is a tool to declutter the mind. It is a tool where we get to connect to our mind in a calm way and realize that whatever is going around us doesn’t affect or bother us unless we let them.

Myth 7: Excellent involvements

Fact: What is a good experience? Who decides that? Some may get visions, some may get aromatic experience and few many get nothing. That’s ok and that is just fine. The visions, the aroma, and the feeling is all an unintentional attempt of the mind to procure the inner self. The aim is to calm the mind. To embrace the experience and feeling that comes along and that may not match up with others.

Meditation classes are limited in time and therefore realizing and experiencing an untouched corner of the vast soul in a limited time may look difficult. Slow down, enjoy the process and be enlightened.
