Meditation for Stress Management
And Rejuvenation Technique.
Everyone
knows that exercising and meditation benefits in enhancing the overall quality
of life.
But casual
enquiry with any group of people in the role of professionals/business/executives
reveal that only a few have incorporated BOTH the exercise and meditation in
their life!
However with
the increasing incidents of BP/heart/diabetes related ailments, many do some
kind of exercise in the form of walking, tread mill, yoga and such things. But when it comes to meditation, it has not
been integrated into the daily regimen. Some of the reasons could be the belief
that meditation leads to sedentary life style, being spiritual and thereby forgoing
many ‘enjoyments’ of life.
Another
reason could be the information explosion about meditation. There are as many
methods as the number of human beings on this planet! So how to choose and
practice is a big dilemma.
Meditation in
any form is basically increasing awareness of body, sensory perceptions, nature
of thoughts and emotions. And having access to clarity on these things, makes
us to meticulously manage stress levels and continuously rejuvenate body and
mind, thereby leading to joyful and happy life.
So, SMART
meditation is not only very simple but also fits into the busy life schedule of
professionals, executives and business personnel. SMART meditation’s very basis
is ‘DON’T DO MEDITATION, BE IN MEDITATION’. It has four stages - Being aware of
sensations in the body, then the awareness of our five senses, nature of
thoughts and emotions.
The beauty of
SMART meditation is, once learnt over eight sessions of comfortable time frame,
it can be practiced all the time, be at office, party and even while speaking
and listening to spouse (!), colleagues, music etc.
So being in
meditation always brings much more benefits than doing meditation for a particular
time and at a particular place!
