I used to associate meditation only with Buddhism.

I thought it was something esoteric that only guys in orange dresses with bald heads did.

But it is now clear that meditation is very beneficial for the body and mind. Many studies prove the positive effect in various areas.

Here are three positive experiences I had thanks to daily mediation.

A little more aliveness

Ending the meditation is, in my opinion, the most beautiful feeling.

Slowly you open your eyes, feel your body again, and stand up.
It’s like waking up, but without the tiredness — on the contrary, you feel like you can hear, see and feel everything now.

It is like an expansion of consciousness. Often we live with routines throughout the day. We are a bit controlled, acting purely intuitively.
Time flies, and at the end of the day, we don’t know what we have done.

Often I feel like a zombie. Meditation can change that.
Ending meditation is like waking up from a trance.
The world around me is still the same…
