This world is filled with anxiety, worry and frustration. Negative forces surround, especially on TV with the daily bad news playing into our fears. Meditation can bring us lasting peace. We crave meditation because we have an inner hunger for quiet in our soul. We are body, mind and soul and yet the soul part of us is usually neglected.
Meditation requires conscious effort.
The mind must be calm and quiet to benefit from the few minutes you take to meditate. We need to empty ourselves in order for our inner being to reach a level of peace. It is communication with the Divine or a oneness with the universe. All that anxiety we feel in life is when we have stepped away from our purpose and allowed negative thoughts to control us. For many of us it is.
