Meditation Changes your Attitude


Effect Of Meditation
The word "meditation" is a misnomer. Meditation is a polymorphic in nature meant to result in to different things for different people. 
Meditation begins with sitting silently but ends in change of the person. Till some point meditation is to sit at a place and do some kriya but after some point it is all about the change it bought in you.
So what does Meditation change in anyone?
It changes your outlook or attitude towards life. The life is still the same, people you deal with are same, the change is in your attitude.
The world as they say is reflection of yourself. So meditation changes the attitude from within.
The real measure of meditation lies in the outcome of it. 
If there is no change, meditation is a temporary feel good phenomena which you enjoyed for that time. Even that is powerful enough I believe.
I believe every meditation changes a person from within, it may be slow but it does change.
So it is very important to meditate on one's self. Meditation makes you introvert.
Here is what meditation has taught me -
1. In any circumstances, see your reaction not others.
2. Be hard to yourself and soft to others (exception - Your Children who are born through you ;))
3. If you are sad, you will be alone and vice-versa. Rather when you are sad, be alone till it passes out. Do not pass on sadness or Anger.
4. The joy in giving.
5. The joy of cooking for your dear ones.
6. Acceptance of things as they are.
7. Fearlessness - Especially ability to speak truth.
8. Appreciate and it will grow. criticize and that will grow too.
9. Rise in awareness and grounding.
These changes are subtle in nature.
All in all, it makes your life easy. It is the same life but your response to life has changed and that makes it easy.
Anger, Anxiety, Fear will still remain, they won't go away. Your ability to deal with them will be better externally and their effect will be dimming internally.

Remember - "Go to the temples outside, worship the god inside."
