Meditation is Boring?
You might have heard people saying “One should do mediation and make it an integral part of your life” but wait man, it is really boring to just sit idle for 10 to 30 mins and doing nothing, no speaking, no talking, no thinking etc etc. This was me exactly 5months ago, When I was the one asking why even we need to do meditation until I understood the importance and was stunned to know that there are types of mediation.
One can definitely choose according to their engrossment and profits and stay on the path of meditation resulting into a positive life.
Meditation is something you practice to have focus in life, to clear all the clutter, to get some time off from the fast paced world and life, to have a positive mind, to feel stressless and much more.
I was previously aware only about the guided meditation but then searching more about it, I realized we have 7 types of Meditation and all are so idiosyncratic that one can pick best one for themselves which fits and suits them best.
