It’s scary how much meditation is helping me.

I’ve been meditating off and on for a couple weeks but for the past week I’ve been doing 20 minutes regularly every morning and evening.

The benefits are almost unreal to me. I mentioned this in a previous post but I’ve always been a hardcore skeptic, and meditation does sometimes have some “new-age” baggage attached to it.

But after practicing it for a little while I honestly feel so content and at peace, I feel like I have superpowers. I was so depressed and anxious and now I feel like nothing can faze me. I feel physically more relaxed and I’m not carrying as much tension as I used to.

I’ve never understood religion or spirituality but I imagine this is how born-again Christians must feel. I understand why some people gravitate so much toward the spiritual side of it, and I feel like I don’t have as much anger towards religion as I used to.

I’m fully aware I could be experiencing a “honeymoon phase” but I’m truly hopeful and I feel like meditation may be changing my life.
