The Power of Meditation: Going Beyond the Surface to Find Stillness Within.
At Moola Yoga, we believe that meditation is not just a practice—it's a journey into the depths of your own being. Imagine standing at the edge of the ocean, gazing at its vast surface, shimmering in the sunlight. The water is alive, constantly shifting and moving, inviting you to dive in. But how many of us have ventured into the ocean’s depths, to discover the profound stillness beneath the waves?
Meditation is much like the ocean. While the surface is where most of us spend our time—caught in the swirl of thoughts, sensations, and constant distractions—true meditation happens when we go deeper, into the silence and stillness beneath the surface. In this blog post, we explore the transformative power of meditation, why it’s essential to dive deeper, and how our Art of Meditation Transformative Online Teacher Training can help you unlock this profound practice.
The Surface of Meditation: Thoughts, Sensations, and Distractions
When you begin to meditate, your mind immediately starts to resist. It pulls you back to the surface, to the familiar distractions that seem so urgent. Your body starts to itch, your legs feel restless, your mind tells you, “Open your eyes,” “Scratch that itch,” or “I’m uncomfortable. I need to move.”
These are the natural responses of the mind and body. They are the surface-level distractions that keep us from accessing the deeper, more peaceful layers of our consciousness. Most of us stay here, on the surface, because it’s familiar. It’s comfortable. The mind wants to stay in its known space, away from the stillness of the unknown depths.
But true meditation doesn’t happen on the surface. It occurs when we ignore the mind’s urges to move, to fidget, and instead remain still. This is where the magic begins.
The Depths of Meditation: Stillness and Peace Await
Imagine the ocean's depths, where the water is calm and silent. There’s no movement—just profound stillness. Meditation is similar. The deeper you go, the quieter it becomes. The distractions of the mind fade away, and what remains is a sense of pure being. In these depths, there is no need to move. There is no need to control your thoughts. There is only peace, clarity, and a connection to something much larger than the self.
This depth is where the true benefits of meditation reside. By choosing to go beyond the surface distractions, you enter a space of inner tranquility. Here, you can connect to a deeper sense of self, find clarity in your life, and cultivate the kind of peace that cannot be disturbed by the external world.
Why We Meditate: Benefits Beyond the Surface
So, why do we meditate? At Moola Yoga, we believe meditation isn’t just a tool for relaxation—it’s a transformative practice that helps you connect with your true self and bring balance to your life. Here are a few key benefits of meditation:
Control the Mind, Don’t Let It Control You
The mind is a powerful tool, but when left unchecked, it can lead us down paths of anxiety, stress, and distraction. Meditation teaches us to become the observer of our thoughts rather than being ruled by them. This gives us control, peace, and freedom.
Reduce Anxiety and Depression
The constant whirl of thoughts can pull us away from the present moment, creating anxiety and depression. Meditation helps bring us back to the present, grounding us in the here and now. In stillness, we find the peace that anxiety and depression often obscure.
Cultivate Inner Peace
True peace isn’t found by escaping the world; it’s found by going within. Meditation helps us access this inner stillness, no matter what’s happening around us. As we deepen our practice, we learn to live from this peaceful center, no matter the chaos in our external lives.
Improve Mental Clarity
When the mind is cluttered, decision-making becomes difficult. Meditation clears the mental fog, allowing us to approach life with clarity, focus, and purpose.
Become Your Own Healer
Meditation is a powerful vehicle for self-healing. By connecting with your inner stillness, you can begin to access the answers to questions that have long been buried. Have you ever asked, “Why am I like this?” or “Why do these things happen to me?” Meditation helps you uncover the answers, guiding you to deeper self-awareness and healing.
