Meditation, mindfullness

[sterling79]

Hi.

Do you practice a meditation or mindfullness? Do you thing that can be good for your creativity, productivity or another business stuff?

I noticed that my best ideas come when i'm in the present moment and no worries about future or past etc, also (for me) meditation is a good way to reduce stress for example.

Started off on TM about a year ago but now just do it on the breadth

Definitely reduced my stress levels

Have you checked out Lifeflow.

Just read the book Power of Now - quite profound i thought

I read but living right here right now all time is not so easy .

Thats true. A little trick I've discovered, for example when I watch TV, I also passively focus on the breath - just as it passes in and out at the mouth/lips. Helps keeps the mind in the present
My concentration has also sky rocketed since meditating.

Do you think that are important skills in business?

 

[trebor8]

Important skills in all walks of life, certainly help in business

 

The most important skill in life is knowing oneself.

Forgive my ignorance but is meditation not another word for smoking "waccy baccy"?

Personally I put this on the same level as those "creative" people who want to "express themselves", and then find they have nothing to say...(with or without smoking the aptly named 'dope'.)

Maybe, but meditation is cheaper and legal .

Meditation also helps with ego driven minds

I'm one of those "creative people who like to express themselves" and I'm all for meditation. I'm just trying it out. Focussing on the breath is v simple but can have amazing positive effects on body and mind which surely influences everything we do including business. I've just discovered BrainSync downloads & can recommend (company nothing to do with me - honest).

Yes and that's the point of meditating. A state known as Enlightenment
