UNITY of Mind, Body & Soul ♦ Yoga, Tai Chi and Meditation

Meditation means to train your mind to achieve changed states of consciousness in order to obtain special benefits. Whether it’s relaxation meditation, mind-emptying meditation – mental vacuum – or beneficial manifestations of meditation, all these forms are based on the human mind’s quality of willingness to change its ability to expand.

That is why it is said that in meditation you can become one with the Universe or that you can escape into an atom. Human consciousness at the meditative level is unaware of its shape, dimensions or limitations. In meditation, everything is possible.

We get a brisk life and constantly overwhelm our brain with information. And most of the time we are surrounded by people, making it impossible for us to sit down and utter mantras.

Studies have shown what happens in the brain before and after meditation (see the picture below) and how to “connect” the parts of the brain in order to have a well-deserved rest. The brain is bombarded by thoughts and needs regular pauses to make it work better.
