With the hectic pace and demands of modern life, many people feel stressed and over-worked. It often feels like the time has come not only enough days to get everything done. Our stress and tiredness make us unhappy, impatient and frustrated. It may even affect our health. We are often so busy we feel there is time to stop and meditate! But in fact meditation gives you more time making your mind calm and focused. A simple ten or fifteen minute breathing meditation as explained below can help you to overcome your stress and find some inner peace and balance.
Meditation can help us to understand our minds. We can learn how to transform our mind from negative to positive, from concerned for peace, from unhappy to happy. Overcoming negative minds and cultivating constructive thoughts is the purpose of transforming meditations found in the Buddhist tradition. This is a profound spiritual practice you can enjoy all day, not just by sitting in meditation.
On this page you can learn the basics of Buddhist meditation. A few books are mentioned that will help you to deepen your understanding if you want to explore further. Everyone can benefit from the meditations given here, Buddhist or not. We hope you find this site useful and that you learn to enjoy inner peace that comes from meditation.
