Meditation refers to a state where your body and mind are consciously relaxed and focused.
Practitioners of this art report increased awareness, focus, and concentration, as well as a more positive outlook in life.
Meditation is most commonly associated with monks, mystics and other spiritual disciplines.
However, you don’t have to be a monk or mystic to enjoy its benefits.
Although there are many different approaches to meditation, the fundamental principles remain the same.
The most important among these principles is that of removing obstructive, negative, and wandering thoughts and fantasies,
and calming the mind with a deep sense of focus. This clears the mind of debris and prepares it for a higher quality of activity.
The negative thoughts you have – those of noisy neighbors, bossy officemates, that parking ticket you got, and unwanted spam–
are said to contribute to the ‘polluting’ of the mind, and shutting them out is allows for the ‘cleansing’
of the mind so that it may focus on deeper, more meaningful thoughts.
Meditation classes are available at the Kells Wellbeing Centre.
