Scientific studies show us these tremendous benefits.
In our western education, meditation and tools to deal with our mind & emotions are still hardly present. If you consider what a key factor mind is in determining whether we live a happy life or not, it makes sense to integrate it!
If we don’t train our mind then we are more easily carried away by emotional states & unproductive thoughts that do not bring happiness. We need to see how our mind operates, observe our tendencies, train our mind and tap into our natural wisdom.
Making a habit
The Tibetan word for meditation is Gompa. This means making a habit. If we create this habit we can apply it in all life situations, bringing openness, clarity & more happiness.
