Thousands of research works have shown how being mindful can be helpful for your mental and physical well-being. A lot of people are now making this meditation a part of their lives due to the positive results they have seen by practicing this method regularly.

I have written numerous posts on mindfulness practices, I have been encouraging people for a long time to do this meditation because it is simple, and practicing present-moment awareness has improved my life in various ways.

One crucial thing that we all need to understand is that our mind and body are connected, all our bodily functions are controlled by our subconscious mind, so when you start to do something that gives you inner peace it gets reflected in your body.

Ancient spiritual knowledge has always focused on how a person’s energy is responsible for various physical symptoms in their body, our body even stores various memories and emotional traumas, this is why hypnotherapy is now widely used to treat various past emotional issues of a person, doing this may also solve many other health problems that a person might be having.

These talks can be difficult to understand for people who have a strong logical mind but when we talk about the things that have been proven by science it becomes acceptable to everyone, that’s why in this post I am going to enlist some health benefits of mindfulness meditation that are based on various studies.

Is the Pineal Gland Really the “Seat of the Soul”?

Some spiritual teachers and philosophers have focused on the importance of the pineal gland, and many people have written a lot of things about the spiritual relevance of the pineal gland and it is also believed to be the third eye by a lot of people.

Renee Descartes has known to have called this particular gland the seat of the soul whereas many people believe that the activation of the pineal gland using some techniques can help a person to achieve certain qualities. In this post, I will be talking about this subject from my perspective which has formed from the knowledge I have gained from various sources.

It will not be fair to discard the significance of the pineal gland in one’s mental health because this gland produces melatonin which is a hormone that plays a vital role in regulating the sleep cycles of an individual. Apart from the production of melatonin and the importance of this gland in regulating sleep cycles, all other claims are based on speculations. Continue reading

Do Video Games Increase Intelligence?

Has it ever occurred to you that even though there are countless negative opinions about gaming, there might be some benefits of playing video games? Is there a possibility that video games can increase a person’s intelligence or help them improve their ability to concentrate? In this post, I will be discussing with you some very interesting facts about playing video games that might be new to you.

In no way I am advocating video game addiction nor am I giving you a reason to continue with your bad habit if you are already addicted to it, and most importantly, I am not at all giving a good point to kids to argue with their parents using this article because as we all already know (and still ignore) spending a lot of time in front of the screen in any way (whether PlayStation or Netflix) is not good for our mental and physical health.

However (yeah, there’s a however), as long as we are not spending most of our time in front of the screen, we are good, in fact, a limited amount of daily screen time might actually be good for us. Here, I am not going to enlist some good reasons to watch television (sorry to all the binge-watchers) but yes, we will be looking into some very good reasons that make video gaming healthy for us to some extent.

5 Tips to Stop Falling Asleep During Meditation(Why It Happens?)

Why do I often fall asleep during meditation? Is my practice flawed, or is it simply ineffective for me? These questions frequently arise, especially among beginners. Surprisingly, even experienced meditators can grapple with the challenge of nodding off during their sessions. In this post, we’ll explore the reasons behind falling asleep while meditating and offer practical tips to help you overcome this common issue.

For some, meditation can lead to drifting into slumber, while others experience post-meditation drowsiness. Conversely, many individuals turn to meditation as a means to enhance their sleep patterns. Our unique psychological makeup means that we all confront distinct challenges in various aspects of life, and meditation is no exception.

Becoming drowsy during meditation is so common that I’ve witnessed an entire hall full of people snoring after a meditation session I attended. Most of them were meditating for the first time, but I know that this can happen to anyone, so there’s really nothing to worry about.

I have also observed people discontinuing their meditation practice, citing drowsiness as a reason to avoid it entirely. They often say, “Meditation isn’t for me; I can’t concentrate because I become sleepy when I try to sit in silence.”

But, you know what? That’s not quite right. Meditation is for everyone, and feeling a bit drowsy during a meditation session is completely normal. Actually, there are several reasons why it can happen to you. So, let’s dig into different factors that might be affecting your ability to make it through a meditation session, whether you tend to get a little sleepy halfway through or struggle to stay fully awake during the practice.

Simple Visualization Meditation Script for Manifestation

If you are looking for an easy law of attraction based visualization meditation script for manifesting your desired life then you have landed at the right place because in this post I will be sharing with you a method that you can use daily for achieving your goals.

Meditation is not about controlling your thoughts neither it is about stopping the thoughts, it is simply an act of being aware of your thoughts and emotions. If you are looking for a meditation method for your spiritual development then I will suggest you try mindfulness meditation exercises, what I am going to show you here is something different from that, this method is for using the power of conscious thinking to manifest your desires.

Creative visualization is one of the best methods to communicate with the universe about your intentions but many people fail to use it properly due to their false beliefs that they cannot use their imagination.

Does the Muse Headband Work? – Meditation Headbands Review

The Muse brand has experienced significant growth in recent years, thanks to its innovative technology designed to measure brainwaves. But the real question remains: Do these Muse meditation headbands actually work? Are they truly effective in detecting your brainwaves, and can they genuinely enhance your meditation practice? In this post, I will address all your questions regarding these devices and provide you with a comprehensive review of both the Muse S and Muse 1 headbands.

While I often advocate for natural meditation practices, it’s important to remember that there’s no universally ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to meditate. The key lies in staying aware of your mind’s wanderings. Even if you’ve been meditating for years, maintaining this awareness can be challenging at times. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced meditator, having a tool that alerts you when your mind starts to wander can significantly enhance the benefits of your practice.

I have heard that in some ancient traditions, masters would sneak up from behind and swing a wooden stick on their meditating pupil to see if they were aware enough to dodge it. However, we are fortunate to live in a world where there are better ways to make spiritual progress without getting beaten up with a wooden stick! Jokes apart, the device that I am going to discuss with you here is designed to monitor whether your mind is relaxed while meditating or if it is wandering, it also alerts you to get back on the right track.

Before diving into my personal experience and answering your questions, let me provide you with some information about this product and how it works. Continue reading

How to Speak to the Universe for Manifesting Your Desires

In this post, I will be talking about how to speak to the universe so that you could receive the inspirations that will help you to make the right choices in life.

Well honestly, I was quite hesitant while writing that title because the universe is not a person to whom you could speak to, even though it all appears outside of us, but in truth, everything is inside us.

We are already communicating with the universe every second. When we think certain thoughts for long, feel emotionally connected to a desire, hold on to our faith in something, etc. we are actually having a conversation with the universe.

Many ancient spiritual texts have talked about how everything a man sees in the external world exists inside them as well, so when you talk to yourself you are also speaking to the universe in that moment.

This is why it is essential to hold positive thoughts and emotions because the type of energy you send out is what comes back to you in one form or the other. Continue reading
