Real Change

Real Change offers a way out of the burdening problems around the world that sometimes weigh on our spirit and make us feel powerless by presenting meditation practices that help us alleviate negative emotions and face these issues with determination and change them for the better.

Oftentimes people think of meditation as something we do to get away from the world and into our heads. However, meditation helps our mind, body, and spirit sync so that we can live more in the present.

A stress-free mind, decluttered by all negative emotions such as stress or anxiety, can anticipate and solve problems more efficiently. In the face of political winds, world problems, personal issues, and other such externalities, it’s often best to take a step back and evaluate calmly.

Meditation is a powerful tool for embracing your present and acting on it. There are numerous real-life case studies where people found their inner strength to move forward, be actors of change, and take charge of their lives through meditation.

To start practicing it, you’ll have to close your eyes, find a comfortable position, and start focusing on your breath. Take a moment to feel the air coming in, expanding your belly, then release it. Take note of how your body feels, where the tension is, and simply acknowledge it. Soon you’ll feel it go away as your mind declutters. Naturally, you’ll start to feel your body, your tension points, and have thoughts coming at you, but it’s best to simply ignore those.

Just like with any problem-solving process, everything starts at the foundation. Naturally, you can’t heal if you don’t know the root cause of your impairment. Therefore, you’ll have to start digging deep into yourself and find the source of your negative emotions. It can be a trauma, a trigger, a loss, a bad memory, or anything at all.

The point is to build resilience. This is the ability to acknowledge your source of pain and convince yourself that you’re strong enough to overcome it. This approach to overcoming negativity can help you become stronger, develop a sense of groundedness and connect with your spirit.

For example, if you’re facing a physical injury and want to heal it, you’ll have to use your body and have it overcome pain gradually after the resting period is finished. Try healing emotional pain through lovingkindness meditation. Just close your eyes to enter a meditative state, and repeat words of compassion, such as: “I am safe.”

Although we live in communities and depend on society, there’s inherently less and less compassion and connection happening between people. Due to our individualism and increased consumerism, we forgot everything, from nature to the human species, is interconnected.…
