Buddha was once asked “What have you gained from meditation?”
He replied, “Nothing! However, I lost Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of old age and Death.” Simple yet profound.

Thich Nhat Hanh, a monk and Zen master, the man Martin Luther King called “An Apostle of peace and nonviolence” said “To meditate with mindful breathing is to bring body and mind back to the present moment so that you don’t miss your appointment with life.”

Is meditation just esoterical mumbo jumbo or is there any scientific basis to it. Scientific evidence suggest that meditation improves self-awareness, memory, emotion regulation and improved anxiety, depression, and pain and so on. In the words of Harvard Neuroscientist “Meditation Reduces Stress and Literally Changes Your Brain.” Yet, another publication from UCLA headlined “Forever Young(er): potential age-defying effects of long-term meditation on gray matter atrophy”. And one of the Royal College of Psychiatrist Publication read “Meditation: The Future Medication.”

Convinced? May be if you are a believer but may be not if you are a sceptic. But why should we believe the words of someone else when we can find truth ourselves? Do you have time for “You” to find the inner joy with no external influence? Do you deserve “your time” simply to be?

Fantastic first post! I really think that the platform could use information such as this, well I would love to see it! I love this quotation:

Buddha was once asked “What have you gained from meditation?”
He replied, “Nothing! However, I lost Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of old age and Death.” Simple yet profound.

So much of society we always feel as if we need to acquire something or get something to be happy / fulfilled when often it's to remove things that aren't serving us and thus revealed with the inner beauty and inner peace.

Upvoted 100%!!

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 @luppers! Couldn’t agree more.
