Meditation and its effects

Meditation


What is Meditation:- 
In simple language, Meditation means focus – focus on one particular or specific thing. 

It could be anything, listening to music or working on something but it's just that there should be a focus on one particular activity.

One can start by closing the eyes with gently breathing (Inhaling and exhaling) and focusing between the eyebrows.
We should try to stop the activities going on in the mind and body.



When we focus, our brain stops doing its work and stops processing the information as actively as it normally does. 

Meditation reduces the flow of incoming information coming in the brain on and off. 

There are 3 types of lobes in our brain. 
1- Frontal lobe 
2- Parietal lobe 
3- Occipital lobe 

Frontal lobe:- This lobe is responsible for emotions, planning, memory, judgments, acts as a control panel. Meditation stops all the processes of the frontal lobe. 

Parietal lobe:- It is the middle part of the brain. All sensory information is done by this lobe. During Mediation, all sensory activities of the brain slow down. 

Occipital lobe:- This lobe is related to visual information like color determination, face recognition, etc. During Meditation, all visual activities stop and the brain doesn’t respond to them.

You run to them and check and realize that one of them is doing great, really really great and he was going to be okay soon but the other, he just grew weaker and weaker.

Seek first to understand, then to be understood

People really don't listen. People are just either not that interested in what you're saying, or they are too focused on their own agenda. It's ridiculous to see two people acting like they can’t really hear each other — by choice. There’s a proverb, “Listen, or thy tongue will make thee deaf” In " The Significance Principle ," authors Les Carter and Jim Underwood posit that we should listen past where the other person has finished. We should even pause before answering. Let them get their point, their story, their compliment, and even their criticism out completely. Then, before preparing your response, ask more about what they said. Get engaged. Understand what and why. Stephen Covey defines this as the fifth habit in his bestselling book, " 7 Habits of Highly Effective People ." It's critical: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Seeking real understanding affirms the other person and what they have to say. That's what they wan
