The benefits of meditations are staggering and well documented. This is not another rant about the benefits and techniques of meditation. This is from a different point of view. How we all meditate. We just don’t realise it. Whether you close your eyes, assume a mantra. Place your body in a particular position or the likes. The effects can be felt.

Among the many techniques of meditation, I have always found a theme that is present, without fault. Pause. You need, to pause. Regardless of the length. You need to pause. Take a breath and direct your thoughts. Pause.

If you have the inclination, you will find what I have said to be true among the various forms of meditation with some research.

However pausing, taking a deep breath and focusing on whatever you wish is not new. We step outside and get fresh air all the time. We pause to reflect before making a decision. We meditate without calling it meditation.

We should now, just do more of it.
