It Helps You Reconnect with Yourself

One of the greatest benefits of meditation is self-love. A lot of the time, the world pressures us into being people that even we don’t really recognise. Why is that? It comes down to the standards of society and our concerns over what the people around us think about us.

How it works

• A lot of the time, the world pressures us into being people that even we don’t really recognise.
• Being a version of you that isn’t the true person, can create a serious imbalance in your mind and emotions, leading to unhappiness and depression.
• You meditate because you want to be yourself, and it’s one time you can be truly authentic.
• Be happy with who you are and don’t be afraid to let the world see the true you.

There are expectations, norms and opinions that shape the way we believe we should think about ourselves, and for many people, it can be quite damaging. Being a version of you that isn’t the true person, can create a serious imbalance in your mind and emotions, leading to unhappiness and depression. Sadly, present day trends for social media stars and reality tv stars, show all too well just how damaging it can be to live a life that isn’t authentic to you.

Through meditation, you can quieten all those extra voices that are telling you how you should look, act and think. You don’t need to be anyone but yourself when you meditate, because it’s not about making an impression, it’s just you and your own thoughts. You meditate because you want to be yourself, and it’s one time you can be truly authentic. You reconnect with who you really are, at the deepest and most fundamental levels.

Meditating can be like getting to know a new friend, as we can find within ourselves a personality that we had forgotten existed. There are qualities and character traits deep within the subconscious, that we may not have tapped into for a long time and rediscovering and recalling them can be a profound and uplifting experience.

But no matter what you gain from meditation, just be yourself. Be happy with who you are and don’t be afraid to let the world see the true you. In fact, you may well start to notice that people look at you differently, as they too see the changes and happiness you now exude.
