Why Do We Need to Meditate?
This is one question that I have been asked on many occasions. The answer I would say is simple yet complicated. The simple explanation is that meditation provides us with peace of mind, and helps us do away with stress.
The Inner Explanation
Our body not only constitutes of the physical parts clearly visible to the eyes, but also the invisible portion known as the energy body. Meditation has a direct affect on the energy body, which then manifests in the physical body. The energy body is better known as the aura that surrounds our physical body like an envelope and penetrates it as well. The aura has scientifically been termed as an electromagnetic field around our body.
It has been noted that when we meditate, the aura or energy body expands in size. (We can measure the size of our aura!) In other words, our energy body is strengthened as more energies flow in. The inner feeling of peace and freedom from stress is due to the strengthening of the aura. It has been seen that the feeling of irritability, anger, frustration, and listlessness, normally associated with stress, is due to a weak aura. Stressful people have weak auras. The lack of energies gives rise to these symptoms. As meditation builds your energy reserves stress starts to disappear.
So, we need to meditate to build a strong energy body, not only to keep us stress-free, but also physically healthy.
