Meditation is a combination of deep relaxation and awareness. It is a technique for calming the mind and connecting with one's actual self. We grow so engrossed in the complications of our hectic life that we lose touch with our actual nature. Every person possesses an infinite supply of delight. Love is a part of who we are at our core.Our actual Self is love, and meditation, the age-old practise of quiet the mind, is the method to find it. It is the boundless joy and calm that we experience when we meditate, when we sit motionless for a few minutes with ourselves.

1. 7 Eye-Opening Ways Meditation Can
Help Your Personal Development

2. The term personality comes from the Latin word “persona”, and originally
referred to a theatrical mask. Our personality, therefore, is a mask we wear
over our true, inner selves. When we meditate, we drop this mask and we
become our true selves.
Meditation is a state of deep rest and alertness at the same time. It is a
practice that calms the mind and allows you to get in touch with your
true Self. We get so caught up in the complexities of our busy lives that we
become distanced from our true nature. Every human has a limitless ocean
of joy within. Love is present at the very core of our being. Love is our very
nature, and meditation, the age-old practice of calming the mind, is the way
to repose in our true Self. It is the unbounded joy and peace that are
experienced by meditating, by sitting still with ourselves for a few minutes.
We can all use a little more balance in our lives, and meditation is known to
be an effective way to center oneself and promote well-being. It is the need
of the hour to relieve our mind of negativity, and to shake ourselves free of
stress and tension. In the olden days, meditation was used to find
enlightenment. Today, meditation is seen as an effective remedy to deal with
the stresses of daily life, and to address the conflict in our minds and in
society too.
Apart from the several benefits of meditation, here’s how meditation can help
you blossom your personality and develop into a well-grounded and sensitive
yet sensible human being.
1. Meditation Makes You More Kind
and Compassionate
Researchers from North-eastern University College of Science and Harvard
University examined the effect of meditation on interpersonal harmony and
compassion in a study conducted in 2013. They found that meditation made people
more willing to act compassionately and help people in need, even when doing so
went against peer pressure.

2. Meditation Makes You Less Neurotic
Neuroticism is one of the Big Five higher-order personality traits in the study of
psychology. Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than average
to be moody and to experience such feelings as anxiety, worry, fear, anger,
frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depression, and loneliness. People who are neurotic
respond worse to stressors, and are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as
threatening and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult.
In a study done in 1976, researchers found that 24 out of 39 meditating males
became less neurotic; the degree to which they did so was related to the frequency
of meditation.
3. Meditation Makes You More
Agreeable, Authentic, and Responsible
We have the ability to influence our surroundings. When we enter a room where
there has been a fight, we feel uneasy. But, when we enter a room where a baby is
playing, we can pick up on a joyful, worry-free energy. Similarly, as we practice
meditation on a regular basis, we will notice a noticeable transformation within
ourselves. We will carry a beautiful energy around us. This will be apparent not just
to us, but also to the people around us.
One study focused on personality changes occurring at a deeper, implicit level, and
found that meditation may influence traits such as a sense of responsibility,
authenticity, compassion, and self-acceptance, thus significantly shaping an
individual’s personality toward a more coherent and healthy sense of self and
identity (Thompson and Waltz, 2007).
4. Meditation Makes You More Intuitive
Today, more and more people are relying on their intuition to achieve tremendous
success and abundance in all areas of their lives, including money, relationships,

4. success, and much more. Intuition is about tapping into the scientifically-proven
quantum field or subconscious mind. Meditation is the very best tool to access your
subconscious and awaken your dormant and yet super-powerful intuition.
5. Meditation Helps You Become More
Forgiving
Forgiveness is a deliberate, conscious act of release and letting go of a past hurt or
resentment from within. Forgiveness is the key to healthy and fulfilling
relationships.
As you quiet your mind with meditation, you become aware of the divinity of the
present moment. Meditation gives you a powerful sense of clarity and a realization
of the bigger picture. As your negativity drops, you begin to feel an abundance of
love in your life, helping you let go of the past hurts quickly and easily.
6. Meditation Improves Self-Awareness and Self-Control
When you have inner peace, then you automatically succeed in what you
do. The more silent you are from inside, the more powerful your thoughts
and actions become.
—Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Meditation releases the accumulation of stress, and leaves our minds fresh and clear.
This brings the mind to the present moment, which is the field of all actions. When
the mind is totally in the present moment, we act with complete awareness.
Challenging situations and unsure times can be a cause for anxiety and may take
away our awareness of the present moment. We are easily swayed by our emotions.
We act on impulse, even when we are required to take a calculated and rational
decision. Meditation gives us the strength to accept situations as they are and respond
in a conscious way. We do not react in ignorance, and say or do something which
we may later regret.

5. 7. Meditation Helps to Develop Great
Ego Resiliency
A person with good ego resiliency has the ability to vary and adapt and express
appropriate emotions in different situations and respond accordingly.
The brittle ego is rigid and breaks under pressure; the resilient ego is flexible and
adjusts to the ebb and flow of situations and circumstances. Resiliency is the ability
and skill to bounce back in the face of any adversity. We can also call this mental
toughness, or even grit. The author of the best-selling book Grit, Dr. Angela
Duckworth acknowledges “mental toughness” as the “secret sauce” pumping
through the veins of successful people.
The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) of the human brain is responsible for pain
resistance, willpower, motivation, focus, and emotional resilience. In a study to
understand why meditators have such a high tolerance to pain, University of
Montreal researchers compared the brains of 17 experienced meditators to brains of
18 non-meditators. The meditators’ brains had much thicker gray matter in the
anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), with degree linked to years of experience. In other
words, meditation fortifies the brain’s “grit” center.

Better!
Meditation brings huge benefits to any kind of personality—whether type A or type
B, extrovert or introvert. You can see how well meditation encourages us to pursue
higher values and help prevent us from staying stuck in old, conditioned behavior
patterns that are no longer serving us well. That itself is an amazing reward.
The result of meditation is precious—it takes us to our Self. Practicing meditation
regularly alleviates you from stress-related problems, deeply relaxes the mind, and
rejuvenates the system. The Art of Living’s Happiness Retreat is a specially-crafted
program to help you tap into your unlimited potential by diving deep within yourself.
I see a huge difference in my personality since the time I have started practicing this
form of meditation after trying out several others.
Like any exercise routine or sport, meditation takes practice! No one in the world
has “extra time”, but if you make the commitment, you can always find 10 minutes
in your day to meditate. You don’t need the perfect moment or the perfect location.
Create your own space and just show up like you would for any other appointment.

6. Make it a non-negotiable practice. Meditation is one of the best ways to energize
your body and calm your mind before a busy day.

POSITIVITY THROUGH MANIFESTATION?

8. You have the power to manifest anything you want, and today's practise
will assist you in tapping into that power.
Begin by sitting in a comfortable position and feeling your sit bones
evenly on both sides, really roots down onto the surface.
Then take a look at your spine for a bit. Extend and lengthen it, keeping
your chin in a neutral position, rolling your shoulders back slightly to
open up your heart. And when you’re ready, softly close your eyes,
keeping your palms in your lap facing upwards.
Simply begin by observing your breath, being familiar with how it feels
as it enters and departs your body, and paying attention to which
muscles are being used. Now actively deepen your breath by expanding
and compressing your abdomen on inhales and exhales. Allow each
breath to be full and rich, because this is a lovely way to cultivate your
connection to the infinite. You always have a limitless amount of air
available to you. This is a fantastic method to connect to feeling rich
and bountiful in and of itself.
When it comes to manifesting what you want, these are two feelings
that you should cultivate. When manifesting, it's crucial to get into the
mindset of already having everything you could ever need or want. So
for now, just focus on how rich you are that you have the ability to
breathe in air. Infinite amounts of healthy breathable air are available to
you. It never ends, and it is so nourishing. Continue to expand this
feeling of abundance and richness as you recognize that you indeed are
more wealthy and better off than even the Kings and Queens
from thousands of years ago.

10. You use your breath to experience the energy inside your belly — the
energy of having everything you desire and the feeling of being
everything you desire.
You are already the version of yourself you want to be. You are already
that version of yourself who possesses all of your desires. It's all up to
you. You hold the power. There is nothing you need to do besides relax
into this truth.
So for the next few moments, just breathe softly and let this truth be
gentle. Let this truth that you have everything you desire, be easy, fluid,
present. There’s nothing you need to do besides relax into this.
When you're ready, exhale, sigh, and bring your awareness to the room
around you. On your next inhale, breathe in extra deeply, feeling all of
that energy develop within you, holding it at the top, feeling great
appreciation to yourself in this moment. When you're ready, you can
open your eyes. Trusting and knowing that you already have what you
desire.
