Do you think life is a complicated puzzle? It’s an interesting analogy that indicates how important placing all the right pieces together is, if you want to see the bigger picture. If I compare life with a Jigsaw puzzle, I could find more resemblance between the two. That’s precisely why some people use this analogy to understand life and the difficulties that come with finding your path. And meditation can solve this puzzle to a greater extent.

If you take time to step back, slow down and quiet the mind (via exercise, spending time in nature, meditation, yoga, or whatever relaxes you), you can start hearing what your soul has to say, and it will guide you in the direction of a joyful and healthy life. Listen to it. Notice its whispers. Find ways to connect with it more often. That’s how your life should be.

Meditation was something that initially was very hard for me. It’s challenging to slow down or stop your mind when it has been in default mode your whole life. Only by practicing it daily for the last few months can I see some visible changes in myself and, and I’m so grateful to have this habit in my lifestyle as it’s not only a habit – it’s a way of living.

It’s similar to a prayer. You focus on the silence surrounding you and seek a deeper connection with your God or Universe.

Focused Meditation.

It involves focus using any of the five senses.

Movement Meditation.

This practice may include walking through the parks, gardening, and other gentle motion forms.

Mantra Meditation.

To clear the mind, this form of meditation uses a repetitive sound that can be an expression, word, or sound, such as the famous “Om.”
