12 Myths about Meditation: The Truth Will DELIGHT You

Meditation is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. As a result, many people miss out on one of the most amazing gifts they can give themselves, one that connects them to their True Self.

Here are some common MYTHS about meditation:

Meditation Myth #1: Meditation is simply letting your mind go blank.

While you may go to a “quieter” place during your meditation, the real purpose of meditation is to actually be in the “gap” between thoughts and breath and tune in to yourself more. This inner Silence becomes your rock, your foundation for bringing insights into your problems.

Meditation Myth #2: Meditation is a form of escape.

While you are clearing your mind from distractions, you are not running away from problems, fears, annoyances, or whatever your daily concerns may be. Rather, the benefits of meditation will help you focus better and gain clarity on how to handle these troublesome issues.

Meditation Myth #3: Meditation is for people who are religious.

This is a common misconception about meditation. While one of the many benefits of meditation is connecting to source, or God, one does not need to be religious to heal and empower oneself through meditation.

Absolutely everyone can and deserves to have this wonderful blessing in their lives.

Meditation Myth #6: Meditation solves all problems.

Meditation techniques can provide the tools and path for one to follow in order to improve one’s life, but it does not mean that every person who meditates listens to their inner self and acts upon it. It is up to each of us as inpiduals to not just listen and tune in, but to also follow the guidance towards a greater Self-awareness.

Meditation Myth #7: Meditation is only an Eastern practice.

Meditation techniques are not limited to any religion, culture, or geographic location – anyone, anywhere in the world, can practice daily meditation. And people all over the world do!

Meditation Myth #8: Meditation is the same thing as relaxation.

Meditation Myth #10: There’s no correct way to meditate.

All meditations bring to the same goal: greater sense of Inner Peace and Happiness. And there are definitely best practices that will allow your meditations to flow easier. these are different for different people.

Meditation Myth #11: I don’t have the time to meditate.

There is only one activity that will refund you back the time you spend doing it and that’s daily meditation. We all have a chronological age and a biological age. Chronological age advances one every twelve months and your biological age speeds up or slows down depending on how much stress you have in your body. Now studies on meditation show that there’s a reversal effect on biological aging with daily meditation.

Meditation Myth #12: Success in meditation is based on the stillness of my mind.

Meditation has nothing to do with how still your mind becomes. A lot of times you won’t know if you are successful in meditation unless someone realizes that in you first. We want to re-define success in meditation by looking into how more adaptable you are in your life. Meditation is going to cause that little “gap,” that little moment, that little breath that you take just before you typically react to a situation or personality when you reflect and pause before you say something you will regret 5 minutes later.
