Yesterday, I had my first meditation practice and it was transformative. I felt calm and at peace afterwards. Can't wait to continue on this journey of self-discovery. ✨
I'm glad meditation has been so good for you and I wish you continued success on your journey. From a conventional perspective, there's plenty of evidence that meditation will help you become more calm and help address stress-related conditions. I find that if I wake up earlier than I intend to (aka, have insomnia), meditating at that time is the perfect way to treat it. Spiritual teachers will also tell you that meditation is like gold. It will not only give you immediate benefits, but also clear your karma and help you make progress toward realization. Compassion is an even higher spiritual practice than meditation, so if you both meditate and practice compassion, that's even better.
