When you are able to focus all your attention to something as unnoticed as breathing, you can bring this concentration to other aspects of your life easily.
2. Mindfulness
Life is not happening in the frames of the past or the future, it is happening in the now. The past maybe sad, the future may be worrisome but the present, down to this very moment, is just calm. The present just lets you be. And being mindful of this present is what meditation lets you do.
3. Increased Creativity
Think of your mind as a cluttered room and think of meditation as a magical broom that lets you sort this room out. Once some space is free in this room, new ideas can begin to make home here; ideas that wouldn’t have emerged in the earlier messy state of the mind.
4. Better Health
Strong immune system, lower blood pressure, increased energy level, better breathing and heart rates are some of the health benefits of meditation.
5. Better Thinking
Your mind is alert, clear and focused. All this lets you make better decisions and see how these decisions will impact not only you but those around as well.
