Regular meditation makes you more aware of the uniqueness of each moment, enabling you to live more fully in the presenting, without needless longing for the past or worrying about the future.

Meditation is a state of mind in which you are fully focused on the experience of being in the eternal 'now'.

One common analogy used for meditation is that when the water of a lake is agitated by waves, it is difficult to see what is really there. But when the water is still, you can see clearly. The same is true of your mind - when it is calm you can see and experience inner peace.

Meditation is not contrary to prospering or to following your dreams. In fact, it can enable you to be more effective in obtaining more of what you want out of life/ Meditation empowers you to work from a place of inner peace, rather than from a state of restless anxiety. A useful analogy might be that stretched and relaxed tend to run better than ones knotted with stress.

If you build a good rhythm for your meditation, you will find that it soon becomes a deeply ingrained habit.

The moment you change from being distracted to noticing that you are distracted is an important shift of awareness. It represents a transformation from unconscious behaviour to mindful action
