Why is meditation valuable?
So, why is meditation a valuable discipline to develop? We live in a world that at times can seem very chaotic. There are dozens of distractions in our lives every moment, hundreds every hour and thousands every day. These distractions keep us from realizing our true selves and our true potential. We get caught up in the mindset that we are what we do, instead of realizing that we are much more, that we are the life force itself and that our true potential is quite unlimited. It is in learning to be that we realize this, a realization that can only come about through the discipline of meditation. In addition, there is a great amount of pressure that we put upon ourselves, in our search for meaning. We allow others to put pressure on us as well in our quest to be validated and valued, and then there is the pressure of simply living in an uncertain world where there is very little that we can control or predict, as much as we would like to. It is a world where nearly anything can happen
