Why is meditation important in today’s society? Many people don’t really understand what they should be accomplishing through meditation. Many people also become easily frustrated with the process, which causes them to give up.
There are many reasons to meditate. In our society today, with all the noise, speed, and stress, there is a need for quiet, peace, and relaxation. To balance activity in your mind and body, there must be stillness and this is where meditation comes in.

Thoughts & Meditation
Thoughts are probably the most common challenge people have with meditation. They feel they are unable to quiet the mind and keep out thoughts. “My mind just won’t stop its chatter and I can’t stay focused.” The key is to stop resisting thoughts and trying to make them go away. Thoughts are a part of meditation and a natural activity in the mind. Although meditation can be a way to experience inner silence, this comes about not by eliminating thoughts but by becoming aware of the silence that is naturally present in the mind along with the thoughts. When we stop resisting what is naturally happening, we experience calmness and peace. If meditation in complete silence is a challenge you may consider a guided meditation, there are many available on iTunes and even YouTube.
Benefits of Meditation
The primary purpose of meditation is deep relaxation. From relaxation you can achieve stress relief, inner calm, and a sense of profound peace. This peace can lead us into releasing anger, grief, fear, or other negative emotions that hold us back spiritually. As we progress in our meditations, we may find solutions to problems, more creativity in our lives and work, access to physical and emotional healing, and the ability to contact higher powers.
