Experimenting meditation

Objective: The benefits of daily meditation are supported by numerous scientific studies and research conducted by experts in fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and medicine. Organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the Harvard Medical School have published research and articles supporting the positive effects of meditation on mental and physical health. Additionally, meditation techniques have been practiced for centuries in various spiritual and philosophical traditions, further reinforcing its effectiveness in promoting well-being.

 

Reflective:  I personally already tried meditating, around 3 years ago I had a teacher who got the class to meditate everyday before the lessons started. Some challenges of meditation might include finding the time to practice regularly and dealing with distractions or restlessness during meditation sessions, but even though sometimes may be hard to find time in our routine for this it is extremely important to have a habit that help us to improve our mental health.

Interpretative:  I think meditation works by helping people become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, allowing them to observe without judgment. This could lead to reduced stress and increased mindfulness, helping in age focus on our mental health. 

Decisional: Based in what I’ve learned about meditation, I'm very interested in giving meditation a try. I'll start by researching different meditation techniques and finding a time each day to dedicate to practice.
