What Happens When You Meditate Every Day? Changes in Mind, Body and Life

Meditation done every day changes the mind, the body, the temper and the way others receive a person. The change appears over time in behaviour and attitude, and it comes with regular practice, since without it the fruits of meditation stay out of reach.

What Does Daily Meditation Do to the Mind?

Daily meditation turns the mind from a hindrance into a best friend, although treating it as one is an art that needs to be cultivated. Meditation builds awareness, and a meditator begins to watch the mind at work. As that understanding deepens, reasoning sharpens, the will strengthens, and the mind develops as a whole. Thoughts become systematic, and whatever is thought or done carries clarity.

Do Stress and Bad Habits Fall Away on Their Own?

Both drop off of their own accord once the practice is sustained, and the mind turns healthy and positive. A meditator need not give up pan chewing, smoking or drinking before starting, even though they hinder meditation, because they loosen their hold automatically as the practice settles in. Meditation also fills the heart with love and works as the antidote to jealousy, lust, anger and wrath.

How Does Daily Meditation Affect Health and Energy?

As HH Guruji Sundar reveals, half of all diseases are mind-oriented, so when meditation lessens tension, health improves. Over the long run, meditation also helps the body develop immunity against disease. People usually spend health to earn wealth in the early years, and the reverse follows in old age. Meditation counters this, so that what is earned now can be spent in peace after retirement.

The sitting itself conserves energy, because with the eyes closed and the body still, the senses withdraw from the outside world, and the energy that goes into worldly activity stays within the body.

What Changes When Meditation Rests at the Ajna Chakra?

Regular meditation at the Ajna chakra, the brow centre, brings further changes, and it is a Guru's grace that initiates the chakras. The flow of thought reduces greatly, and mental strength and mind power increase. Worries lose their weight: even when a problem persists, the mind gives it less importance, and the meditator learns to smile.

Tiredness comes less easily, and half an hour of rest after a long working stretch restores full energy. Anger rises less easily, and when a situation does call for it, the anger subsides as quickly as it rose. The facial muscles soften, the skin fills with vital energy, the gaze turns sharp and focused, and the eyes stop wandering. At night, sleep comes the moment the eyes close and runs deep, without tossing and turning.

What Do the People Around a Daily Meditator Notice?

The transformation reaches family, friends and acquaintances too. Meditation lends the face a shining grace and makes the meditator glow with positive energy, and others feel at home and relaxed in that company. With regular meditation at the Ajna chakra, a deep silence gathers around the meditator, and people notice it. Those with worried minds like to stay close, talk and unburden themselves, and they leave with lighter and more positive minds.

What Should a Meditator Keep in Mind While Practising Every Day?

Without regular practice, the fruits of meditation stay out of reach, and expecting results becomes a barrier to the meditation itself. Hence, a meditator should not expect anything and can simply enjoy the practice.

Meditation is not a technique that is learnt and then dropped, because it is a way of living. As HH Guruji Sundar puts it, "You should meditate in such a way that every day you should sink deeper into your consciousness." Closing the eyes alone brings only dizziness, which is why the method should be learnt from a realised master and practised under guidance.

Where Does Daily Meditation Lead in the End?

Meditation gives joy and bliss, yet joy and sorrow are two poles of the mind, and the real bliss lies beyond both, with meditation as the way there. The destination of the practice is Self-realisation, which comes through a realised Guru's grace.

Key Takeaway

Daily meditation turns the mind into a best friend, with clearer thinking, sharper reasoning and a stronger will. Stress and bad habits drop off of their own accord, health improves as tension lessens, and immunity builds over the long run. Regular meditation at the Ajna chakra reduces the flow of thought, steadies energy and temper, softens the face and deepens sleep, and the change reaches family and friends. A meditator should practise regularly without expecting anything, and the practice leads to Self-realisation through a realised Guru's grace.
