| This looked like a wonderful spot to meditate. |
Meditation nourishes the body, the soul as well as the brain. The more one meditates, the more the brain changes. When we meditate, the "old brain" begins to quiet down and our sense of separateness begins to diminish. The walls of the ego (or the constructed self) begin to collapse and we begin to sense our oneness. Scientifically speaking, it is found that those who practice mindfulness meditation have more gray matter in the left hippocampus, the part of the brain involved with emotional control, memory and learning.
Meditation aids in relaxation, concentration and attuning to deeper, more spiritual aspects of the self. It helps us find our center - our temple of inner wisdom. Through a meditation practice we can learn to live primarily from this place. Did you know that the word "meditation" actually comes from the Sanskrit meaning "doing the wisdom".?
