Misconceptions About Meditation: Does Meditation Make Us Slow and Sluggish?

With any new field, we will have certain misconceptions.

Meditation is no different; many misconceptions surround it, such as: does meditation belong to Buddhism? or meditation is only for an elite few – people with plenty of free time who no longer worry about making ends meet? Or does meditation make us sluggish and slow because we merely sit still doing nothing, preventing our thinking from developing?

But is that true? If you have practiced meditation, you will understand that it not only improves work performance but also helps you respond to situations with greater alertness and calm. The heart of meditation is a settled mind. At deeper stages, practitioners can also connect with their own inner teacher. With such benefits, meditation practitioners enjoy not only inner peace, but also greater harmony and effectiveness in physical life and work.
