The Power of Meditation

 Mediation for the Modern Life

Somewhere in Silicon Valley, a group of computer programmers sit silently

in a room together, legs crossed and eyes half-closed, listening to the

sound of their own breath. Elsewhere, the owner of a small real estate

company starts her day by breathing deeply and engaging in yoga poses.

Still, elsewhere, a data entry specialist finishes his turkey sandwich and

returns to his cubicle, puts on his headphones, and breathes deeply while

listening to the sounds of bells and waterfalls.

Meditation looks different for different people, but one thing is for sure: it is

quickly gaining popularity in Western culture. It has many professional and

personal benefits including increased productivity, reduction of stress and

depression, and reduction of troubling physical symptoms such as

headaches and muscle tension, to name a few.

The word “meditation” often elicits images of devout men sitting silently in

mystical temples far away. It can seem foreign and certainly something too

far removed from daily life to have a practical application for business or

even for personal gain. You may have preconceived notions about what

meditation entails or cultural or spiritual beliefs which you feel may hinder

you from participating in meditation. While meditation does have its roots in

several spiritual practices, it is increasingly being recommended by

Western medical professionals as research is bringing to light the multiple

health benefits of regularly engaging in this form of focused relaxation.
