What is meditation? What are the benefits of meditation to health?
Meditation, also known as Zen, has deep roots in primitive Buddhism in India. It is a tool to help us understand our body, emotions and thoughts deeply, so that we can gain personal growth and increase happiness in our work and life. We all know that fitness can keep us healthy, and meditation is also an exercise tool, but its object is not the body, but our heart, brain and soul.

We have all used computers, which will slow down if used for a long time. At this time, it is necessary to clean up the memory, clean up some garbage and let the computer return to a light state. This is what primary meditation does. We are actually like a large computer, and our brain is our CPU. Sometimes when we are too busy, we need to "clear our memories". This brain recovery technique is the main meditation.

We are all using mobile phones. Mobile phones have their own operating systems, such as Apple's iOS and Android's Android system. Each of us actually has our own operating system.

If there is something wrong with the mobile phone system, then no matter how we use the mobile phone, similar problems will always appear again and again. This is like, in our life, no matter what kind of working environment some people have changed, similar problems always appear repeatedly; No matter what kind of couple you change, intimate relationship always ends with the same problem. Then this is probably not an external cause, but a problem with our internal operating system.

If there is something wrong with the mobile phone application, we need to go deep into the background, find the problem and fix it through programming.

What if we have our own problems? We need intermediate meditation, go deep into our soul code, see the problem, and then upgrade the system.

Advanced meditation is to realize the essence of our life, just like a movie. The movie seems to be coherent, but in fact it is frame by frame. This essence can be seen in higher-level meditation, which can pass through the gaps between frames. This is "meditation", with all kinds of pleasant experiences. In addition, we can also see that frame by frame experience is fleeting, and nothing is constantly connected to form "I" (Vipassana). So "I" can look at my life and the world with a new understanding, which can make us live more freely and openly.

Meditation, which originated in the East, flourished in the West in modern times. In the1970s, Dr. Kabajin from MIT combined meditation with psychology, applied meditation to his critically ill patients, and found that meditation can actually help people relieve pain and release stress. Then, he developed a stress-reduction course for business people.

With the development of brain wave science, the original illusory emotions and brain activities can be tracked and quantified. The effect of meditation is no longer a myth, but a scientifically visible and measurable parameter.

At present, meditation training has become the most popular training course in Silicon Valley. Google, Facebook, Linkedin and Salesforce all use meditation courses to help companies and employees get better efficiency, creativity and work happiness index. Meditation is not only sought after by technology companies on the west coast of the United States, but also popular in the financial circles on the east coast of the United States. Dario, the founder of Bridgewater, the world's hedge fund giant, publicly declared that meditation is one of the most critical factors for him to get rich.

In short, meditation is such a tool to help us understand ourselves, release ourselves, live our true selves and get more happiness.
