In this article you are going to learn about the technique of meditation, what to know about meditation and as well as the benefits of these great natural therapy treatments called meditation. Only take time to read this piece and as an entrepreneur you will be glad you do.
What is meditation? Meditation to me means awareness. This is because your senses are sharpened as you concentrate on your breathing and your hearing is sharper than before. You tell your mind to block out these distractions so you are able to find inner peace which you can carry with you when you open your eyes.

The word meditation according to the research comes from two Latin words. The first is called 'meditari" which means to think, dwell upon or to exercise the mind. The second is 'mederi" which is to heal. If you put these all together, it describes basically what this activity is which is a time for your to reach deep in your mind and recharge.

Meditation as I discovered is not only for a religion but it is more of a science. This is because numerous studies done in the past confirm that those who practice meditation feel relaxed are physically fit have improvements in their academic standing in school and have an increase in their productivity at work.

With these facts above one can boldly affirmed that meditation has benefits that are physiological, physical and psychological. Meditation is something that needs to be a part of our everyday routine. In its simplest form, there is satisfaction and renewal of spirit to a more vigorous and active one. With the little time that meditation requires, you learn more about yourself. This understanding can even lead you to promising achievements especially in the field of socialization. While you learn to focus and concentrate, meditation gives a clearer sense of direction. You do not have to take any pills or get a prescription from a doctor. It is free and it doesn't consume much of your time. This can be done in 5 to 20 minutes each day. You just have to sit comfortably and close your eyes then continue with whatever you were doing.

For entrepreneurs here is a simple meditation technique that will nurture your consciousness to the realms that go beyond the scientific domain. This is the way out to convolution and exhaustion. In the continuous process of meditation, observe how it changes your life, perception and purpose.

The first step in this meditation technique is to find a quiet and comfortable place to reflect on. Sit in a comfortable position. You can cross-leg in a carpet or sit in a chair. The exact position of meditation doesn't matter, as long as this makes you feel relaxed and focused. Then gently close your eyes. This is an essential technique of shutting yourself from the world. Closing the eyes directs the attention to the internal awareness, the main goal of meditation. It is because the sense of seeing greatly consumes the energy which in turn takes away the sense of focus. In other techniques, there are also open-eyed meditations. However, the efficacy of those can be low compared to closed-eyed meditations.

So, you should close your eyes, focus on your breathing and let the positive air go in and the negative thoughts go out. You might hear sounds nearby and since you can't do anything about that, just acknowledge that it is there and just concentrate on this exercise.

Relax. This is another important factor when meditating. Watch the space and the darkness. Put your attention to the flow of your thoughts that passes your mind. Watch how these thoughts rise and fall. This time, your subconscious becomes more vibrant and aware.

Repeat the mantra. This will keep you focused. An effective mantra that goes along the internal consciousness is the Sanskrit Sloka, amaram hum madhuram hum. This means "I am immortal, I am blissful". The space which you are looking into is reined by the Knower. The Knower of the space is characterized by immortality and bliss.

The next is called prayer meditation which is in fact the most popular form. The nice thing about this is that you do not have to go to Church or sing any hymns. You simply sit down, close your eyes and just relax.

Yet another technique is called visualization meditation. This technique help your mind focuses on an object or that goal which you wish to reach. This is effective when you finally settle in a very comfortable position. This is used to help an athlete before a big event or by doctors to help cure patients.

Another meditation technique is called candle meditation. Here, you basically light a candle and then focus on the flame. For the next few minutes or so, you will block out everything else in the world and put all your concentration on the flickering flame.

After the meditation, rub your two hands and give warmth to your face. This will help you return to your other activities. Do this meditation for at least ten minutes, twice a day. Preferably, at the start and in the end of the day recharge your spirit through meditation. This is also helpful to alleviate your worries and get you ready to more challenges of life.

What I want you to know as entrepreneur is that, Meditation is easy to do and can give you an instant feeling of calmness and relaxation. This mediation technique is simple and very effective and only take you a few minutes to learn and will help you relax away from the stresses of everyday life. Meditation can provide you with inner strength and you are going to be much happier. Learn as much as you can about meditation so you too can start feeling better.

The few benefits of meditations among so many are as follow: Meditation for just 15 minutes or even longer allows you to relax and later enables you to make an effective decision. It also lowers the level of stress anxiety in your system thus decreasing the risks of heart disease significantly.

The practice of meditation also makes you self aware of what is happening around you. This enables you to focus on the present rather than events that happened in the past or the future. It teaches you to be in control of your mind and not make you do anything based on your emotions.

Meditation also develops insight into our subconscious. This is because our attitudes, behavior, feelings and perceptions are all connected and if you are able to harness it, you will be able to understand yourself better.

This allows you to have a positive outlook in life and even make changes in yourself. You become content or thankful with what you have instead of harboring feelings of anger, anxiety, greed, hatred and jealousy towards yourself and others.

You will also be able to see the big picture instead of the small one when given a task at work so even if there are a few setbacks along the way, you are still able to keep your eye on the end game.

Medication will also make you feel younger. This is because according to a study, people who have been practicing this for many years were physiologically 12 years younger than their chronological age. The results of the test were based on the test subject's auditory discrimination, blood pressure and eye sight.


Meditation is more essential things for you as entrepreneur, Take a step to meditation today, get inner strength and free yourself from all stress that leads to high blood pressure and heart diseases. Enjoy your achievements as entrepreneur.
