I have been an ardent admirer of meditators, especially those Buddhist masters. I cannot claim to have seen it, but they have this subtle radiance and posture-a freshness. I could not have otherwise believed that meditation is a big deal.
I have also read certain books about meditation and posts on the internet place so much emphasis on its benefits. Even in my school days, we used to have meditation sessions for a minute or two. I think I have the right to say that a breathing meditation, had positive impacts. I could offload the weight of troubles in the long breaths. But in spite of having done it more often in my school days, I did not get the big positive improvements I expected. Maybe I was expecting a lot.
My trust in meditation, due to my doubts, has gone down. But I always had the long-term faith that it has powers. The realization takes time, patience, and technique.
As my attempt to have a good college days gets worse, my mind inclines to seek help in daily meditation. Like a five-minute breathing meditation.
Next time you see me, consider I am more enlightened. Lol
P.S.: Will I really meditate after writing this? Probably no
