Yes, I love to meditate on the Good things of life. Like what is to come, and what I want to see achieved. I am always also meditating on Jesus, and all he has done for me in my life.

The term Meditation describes a variety of practices with a variety of goals. It usually involves turning our attention inward to the mind itself. Meditation is often recognized as a component of Eastern religions, having originated Vedic Hinduism. It has also become mainstream in Western culture. It encompasses any of a wide variety of spiritual practices which emphasize mental activity or quiescence. Meditation can also be used for personal development. Many practice meditation in order to achieve eternal peace, while others practice certain physical yogas in order to become healthier.

Meditation helps us to gain a calm and peaceful state of mind. It changes many of our behaviors and actions of body and speech. The person becomes gentle, kind, more calm and quiet. Secondly, meditation helps us to reduce many of our mental afflictions and negative thoughts. Naturally, the action of body speech mind becomes wholesome, constructive and healthier. This is very helpful to oneself as well as to others. Thirdly, meditation provides, or brings us, special alertness, freshness, and sharpness in one's mind. This allows us to see the things beyond the understanding of ordinary human mind or consciousness. It allows us to see the things as they are, not as they appear to our ordinary mind. This is the final, or ultimate advantage, or benefit of meditation. Many people are interested in meditation, especially in the west, because it helps to relieve mental stress, anxiety, and depression. Sitting in meditation helps us to gain some degrees of inner relaxation which also helps to recharge body. Sitting in deep meditation for twenty to thirty minutes equals taking rest in ones bed in the form of sleeping or lying down, but taking rest in the form of lying down in ones bed offers less chance to get full rest if our mind is disturbed. Meditating for twenty minutes, freeing mind completely from thoughts, and all manner of thinking processes, letting the mind to remain at rest, calm and peaceful, offers good opportunity to get full rest, to restore energy to both mind and body. Those who meditate for many, many hours and have proper experience of meditation do not need too much long sleep because meditation has the potential to sustain body, as well as mind. According to Buddhist metaphysics, or cosmology, there are three things that sustain our ordinary human body: (1) food, we eat food to sustain our body; (2) sleep, our body needs sleep; (3) meditation. The very reason we need sleep is to rest our mind, so meditation helps our mind to get rest, therefore, meditation has a potential to sustain our body like sleep.

Meditation is a source f attaining peace f mind. It helps us to increase our confidence. while meditating

Yes I meditate and I do find it very beneficial. Firstly I find that it helps me to de-stress after coming home from work but it also helps me feel much calmer generally. I stopped meditating for about 6 months and I found that I really noticed the difference, I became much less calm and felt more hassled. I've also found that when i'm in pain by focusing on my breath I can help to alleviate the pain.
