Meditation and emotional balance

Regular meditation is very effective in stabalizing one's mood and achieving emotional balance. Just by sitting still and observing our experience without trying to change it, we realise that every mental state comes and goes- that nothing is permanent and fixed.

Neither pain or happiness lasts forever.When we understand the "coming and going" of our emotional states (somewhat like the weather!) we can begin to feel less fearful or bothered by our "negative" emotions and take them more in stride and less driven to run away, lash out or perhaps push and bury them deep down inside.

Although it is often drowned out by our mental busyness with the stresses and responsibilities of daily life, no matter what our outer circumstances may be, there is a natural, quiet place available to all of us.Meditation is a wonderful way to connect with that place- our inner balance and once we come in contact with it, it becomes an invaluable refuge."Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It's a way of entering into the quiet that's already there-buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day." ~ Deepak Chopra

Until next time...
