I’m not sure. I feel I’m still relatively new to it. It’s nice to listen to something calming and try to focus my mind.

I have not been meditating for that long. In fact I have just started very recently. But I will answer your question to the best of my ability. To me meditation works because I meditate to release stress and meditation does release stress for me. But really weather meditation “works” or not is based on what you’re trying to get out of it.

A lot. I struggle to control my thoughts in general, but with meditation it’s less daunting, because it’s not about control, but surrender.

Works a lot! It’s just magic! A beautiful bless…. At the beginning is really difficult to get concentration, but repeating is fundamental. Because our mind is like a muscle that needs to exercise to be strong. Courage! Good journey!

Yes. It makes a genuine difference to how aware I feel of my thoughts. In turn, this affects my actions day to day. It also helps me feel more connected to my surroundings, and less anxious in new situations. But only if I practice regularly

For myself, I notice improvements in my mood shortly after I start Loving Kindness Meditation. I have also read some studies that indicate that it helps with empathetic behavior after consistent practice. I also have done a meditation where I just watch my breathe. I find it more difficult, and I haven’t noticed any bennefits despite the studies that indicate there are bennefits. There are many different types of meditation. I believe some show immediate improvement in mood, behavior, and focus, while others are so subtle that it makes me wonder why I am taking the time to do them. Nonetheless I believe they all can be helpful little by little.

Thank you. I really believe it works for me. It’s been more than a year now. I do feel the difference. When I’m late to meditate my body craves for it. Thanks!

Yes! It makes me feel very good and less anxious. I feel very in control of my body mentally and physically. I also sleep better!

Yes, it is helpful. It is not going to change your life overnight, but if you keep with it, you will find that you slowly start seeing everything differently

Meditation is the best thing I ever do for myself each and every morning! To raise your vibration and be allowing of what you’re ant to come to you through inspired thought first, that you can only receive through meditation and quieting your mind.
