Mindfulness meditation is the most well researched type of meditation. We take few moments to check in to notice the state that your body is in and your mind. The ancient science of meditation has moved out of the temple and simplified into our daily lives in our present innovative and stressful life.

Meditation

Meditation has 3 stages according to Sage Patanjali who bring science of pathway to enlightment to the world through Patanjali Yoga Sutras. They are 3 internal mental process called Dharana (initial concentration /focus) Dhyana (one pointed contemplation) and Samadhi (Aligning and absorption with the universal energy/consciousness). Yoga Sutras of Patanjali   says that meditation is the progressive quietening of the mind till it reaches the source in pure silence.

Meditation takes you to the source of thought, the source of thought is pure awareness on the unconditioned mind. It is a field of possibilities, creativity, unpredictability embedded with intention, and those are the qualities of your consciousness and   it is beyond our cognitive and perceptual mind which is usually conditioned by experience

Our mind operates predominantly with thoughts, feelings and emotions, beliefs, experiences, Higher faculties of mind such as memory, perception, will, imagination, and intuition. We identify our self in the array of past and future with lacking and wanting.

We are in an environment that have all kinds of competitions, achieving targets and filled with information overload and workload. Ability to selectively focus on certain things and ignore other things is part of our capacity of choice. Basically, mindfulness develop self-awareness as our mind is less prone to wandering and it strengthens the prefrontal ability to say no to those low impacting activities and emotional impulses. It also helps us keep our attention on that one thing that’s so important.

Another factor Scientists has realised is that mindfulness open and strengthen the spectrum of emotional intelligence competence. There are four parts of emotional intelligence self-awareness,

self-management, empathizing and social skill and within each of those domains, there are specific learning abilities that make executives outstanding performers.

Mindfulness help to handling negative emotions, improve adaptability in general and maintaining a positive outlook. In business and work having attitude of keeping your eye on that long-term goal despite setbacks, obstacles and distractions keep you going and succeeding to the next level.
