This is a total falsehood. - Going to the gym 3 times per week for exercise does not cure any disease, Meditation also does not directly cure any disease. However, those who regurally exercise and eat healthy have a better quality of life than those who live unhealthy lifestyle. Similarily, those who Meditate daily have better quality of life than those who do not meditate regurally.
Meditation exists, therefore like everything else it must have three sides. - Not sure what three sides means? When a person exercises properly then they will get health benefits. If they over-exerice or do wrong exercise then they will get muscle injury. Similarily, when a person does Meditation properly then they will get the corresponding good benefits. If they do Meditation incorrectly then they will get poor results.
Of course, meditation is not for everybody, especially not the intensive kind. - Meditation can be done by any person who knows how to breathe. And since every human needs to breathe to stay alive, any human can do Meditaion if they so choose.
Mentally unstable people, like paranoid schizophrenic, psychotic, should not do it. First, they should work themselves up to a normal level. They should weed themselves out of all legal and illegal psychotic drugs and switch to natural products. - This is an incorrect assumption. With appropriate Meditation Coach and Guidance any person who is alive can learn to Meditate if they want to.
But there are many steps down the road to enlightenment that many people don’t want to take. Why? Because they may be painful, threatening, or depressing. Not to mention, they can be incredibly scary. - Meditation has nothing to do with Enlightenment or Higher State of Being.
Some of the side-effects of meditation are twitching, trembling, panic, disorientation, hallucinations, terror, depression, and mental and psychotic breakdown. - These are not side-effects. These are the experiences of cleaning the years of toxic and negative energy build-up. When an obsese person goes on weight-loss diet they exerience similar emotions. That is not side-effect. That is just the process to get healthy. Similary Meditation has no side-effects. Once the cleaning process is completed then person is very relaxed and in-control of emotions.
Having said that, let’s take a closer look at it; there are millions of people who never practice meditation, even for a minute, and yet they are suffering from these same symptoms. - This has nothing to do with Meditation.
7 - 10% of people on meditation retreats experience adverse effects including fear and depression. - This is true for any event. There will always be people who will experience fear. That is built-in part of our human design.
Meditation is not for everyone and some people can suffer serious psychological disturbances after practising it. - A person may choose not to Meditate. That is similar to a person choosing not to eat healthy. No one suffers any permanent damage with Meditation. It is all part of getting the mind and body free from toxins and negative and limiting belief systems.
Research points out that practising meditation for 20 minutes a day resulted in a higher level of biological stress, as measured by the hormone cortisol part, yet at the same time meditators reported lower level of subjective stress. - For every human Meditation benefits are different. There is no way reseach scientist can accurately measure intangible benefits of Meditation.
So why would meditation make you feel more stressed? There might be several reasons; trying to focus your awareness for extended periods of time; what you’re feeling and thinking can be a demanding cognitive exercise. - This just means that the person is not using common-sense. They can just listen to relaxing Meditation music or do Walking Meditation or Watch the Birds or Watch the Stars.
Another reason that is well known; when you meditate ‘the scum rises to the surface’. As the old saying goes; the higher the tree the deeper the roots; if the branches reach to the heaven, the roots reach to the hell. During meditation many intrusive images, thoughts and feelings, such a strong sexual, sad, fearful and violent ones, may arise abruptly. You have to be well prepared for it. - Yes, Meditation should be done with care. While driving we use our eyes and hands and legs. We do not drive with eyes closed. Similary with Meditation the person needs to know how to meditate correctly.
Meditation can have powerful effects on the mind, but not all of those are beneficial, at some particular time. Meditation is heavily marketed as a new fix all solution, kind of a Buddha pill, and we have wilfully turned a blind eye to the potential dark side. - All products and services are Marketed aggressively. That is how businesses operates. When a person will look for good Meditation non-profits, they will be able to receive correct and authentic guidance on Meditation.
Each coin has three sides and we should be keenly aware of the whole range of effects associated with these techniques, and how they work differently for each of us. - Yes, Learning Meditation takes years, just like yoga, martial arts or any sports. A good option is to join a local Meditation group or find some good Meditation Coach for the first 3-5 years.
Thanks for your amazing sharing on Meditation. It will help many folks. Good Luck with your Meditation Practise... :-)
WE LOVE MEDITATION
