Meditating in Today’s World, Does It Really Matter Any More?

Meditation can relieve pain! Meditation helps you focus! You cannot do it simply by positive thinking, for example — that is just like talking to the MP3 player. It wont change the song program. You have to actually make an experience of being different, of stepping out of the old fixed habits, patterns and ideas. You have to step out of the old neural pathways that have been running your life, and that takes courage and determination.

It takes courage because the old unconscious patterns represent our identity, and it is a bit scary to think of who we would be without our old identity. And to do something, or be something, different is very uncomfortable, at least for the mind!

The whole purpose of meditation is to get some distance from the old unconscious mind. So meditation techniques are specifically designed to allow you to step out of the old habitual neutral pathways and experience something radically different. They achieve that by bringing the meditator into the present moment.

If you are totally in the present moment, it means that you are not in an old pattern. In the present moment you are just responding — seeing, hearing, feeling - as if for the first time.

Researchers at Harvard, Yale, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that meditation actually alters the physical structure of the brain. Through brain scans, they discovered that experienced meditators have increased thickness in parts of the brain that deal with attention and with processing input from the senses.

In other words, the structure of an adult brain can change in response to repeated practice. Meditation is not something to be done occasionally. As seen above, it takes a big effort to grow new neural pathways. One or two totally new experiences will certainly start to create a new neural pathway, but the old pathways are very strong and thick. We all know that it is much easier to just give up and let the old mind patterns take over.

But with consistent practice, the delicate new neural pathways become stronger and stronger, allowing the possibility to jump out of the old more easily. And meditation does not have to be boring. In fact it should not be. It is only boring or uncomfortable for the old mind, the unconscious mind, which wants you to stay on its controlled pathways. Meditation should be taken as a joy, an experiment with your wonderful senses. After some months, you can find a new technique, allowing even more new pathways to develop. If you really seriously want to change, then try it out for yourself and see.

It has science on its side!
