Introduction
I have been practicing and teaching meditation for more than 20 years now. Meditation helps you go deeper and connect with yourself. It helps you tap into an energy zone which you may have never realized you possess. You will find yourself calmer and content mentally physically and emotionally as well. And this connection with yourself would benefit not only you, but the transformation effect you will achieve would help and permeate within all the people and objects you are interacting with. You will notice the change in your social interactions your personal and professional lives. And the beauty of it is that you will not have to make any extra effort to do all these, once you are able to connect with yourself the rest will flow. When streams of water flows, along their journey they irrigate the lands they flow on, they provide life to various plants and animals on their way. This is not the primary focus of the river or streams, but subtly they nourish all other life forms they interact with. Similarly, by making this practice a part of your life you are enriching others around you as well by radiating this energy into them as well. A lot of my students have mentioned changes they have experienced in their personal relationships, they have told me stories about the benefits they experience in their workplaces due to their newfound positive outlook. All that is good, in fact great, but always remember that is not the goal. You do not meditate with a goal in mind that you will improve your relationship or that you want to get a promotion, in fact just the opposite, you want to free yourself from all those thoughts. You want to create a blank slate which will allow you to go deeper and connect with yourself, and like I mentioned before it is guaranteed the rest will flow and your life will grow.
