The Powerful Benefits of Group Meditation

by Kathryn Remati

Considering our modern world, we may want to include group meditation. We spend a lot of time alone without realizing it. It doesn’t seem like we’re alone when we’re communicating on Twitter, sharing images on Instagram or Pinterest and liking friends’ updates on Facebook, but scrolling is, nonetheless, a solitary pastime. It keeps us in one place and time flies by. No wonder it seems so difficult to fit in that yoga class or add 20 minutes of meditation into our daily schedule. Socializing has been redefined by our technological lives and has never been so easy, yet maybe it’s too easy and making us a little too comfortable with our solitude.

Nothing can compare to a physical face-to-face connection, as can be found with group meditation. The feel of a genuine laugh and sharing ideas in person is far better than reading a text and misunderstanding the intended meaning of the typed message because it didn’t include a smiley face emoji. Go for a real smile on a real face more often.

There are many benefits to getting out, even if it is just once a week, and joining a group of like-minded souls for meditation. Get rid of the restricting idea that we can only find inner peace when we are alone. Sure, we usually go it alone at home, but group meditation has some unique benefits.

 
Group Meditation: Six excellent reasons to meditate with others: Group Meditation Reason #1 – Everything is better when shared-including meditation.

Just like music, meditation can be enjoyed on its own or with others who dance to the same beat. Feel a real connection during group meditation by tapping into the same silence and source of peace at the same time. We can literally meet people on the same wavelength: recorded EEG results show that brainwaves synchronize while meditating.

 
Group Meditation Reason #2 – Meditating with a group helps to develop a habit.

It is too easy to find excuses at home and walk past that meditation cushion for another day. Going to the gym is part of our routines now, so finding a meditation group to help us form another good habit makes sense. In addition, the health of both the mind and the body can be checked off our to-do list thanks to group meditation.
