Many people
nowadays talk about the benefits of meditation in terms of productivity and
several companies are investing in creating spaces for this practice. But much
before all of that, I was already meditating…
To meditate
gives me three important things that I think closely are related to
productivity:
- Concentration. I will be clear and confess that my
concentration power if very poor… but meditation helps in terms of increasing
it. When I meditate, I develop a powerful habit of thinking of one thing only,
or very few ones, which is useful when I am working or any other situation that
implies productivity.
- Detachment. It is not a Zen attitude, it is something fundamental to have a good work life and yet, keep the balance with the rest of your life. But, if you like philosophy, it is said in the Gita: All the time your hands are doing, your mind should be on God.
- Power. If you go beyond the relaxation that meditation provides and the sense of abstract, you will find that to meditate is an excellent recharger. The reason is that connects you with some more powerful source, giving you power just like when you think of someone you admire, you feel stronger.
Now, you
may ask which type of meditation is the best. I do raja yoga, and I love it, but I am aware people are different and
it is important you do the type of meditation with which you get more benefit.
I hope this helps you to be more productive!
