My idea behind starting this meditation community is to embrace the integration of meditation into daily life, encouraging practitioners to bring mindfulness and awareness to their activities, relationships, and decision-making. It recognizes that the benefits of meditation extend beyond the time spent on the cushion and can positively impact various aspects of one's life. Benefits commonly associated with meditation include reduced stress, improved focus and concentration, increased emotional well-being, enhanced creativity, and a greater sense of overall balance and harmony. Many individuals also find that regular meditation practice helps them cultivate a deeper connection with themselves and others, leading to personal growth and spiritual development. I look forward to organize group meditation sessions, retreats, workshops, and discussions where members can come together to meditate, learn from experienced teachers, share insights, and foster a sense of community. These gatherings provide opportunities for practitioners to deepen their understanding of meditation, explore new techniques, and connect with others on a similar path.
How do you know if you are depressed? When I think over past failures, I feel bad for wasting years and my parent's money. But if I cry about it, I fear I’ll become depressed. How do I analyze what I did wrong and cry, without becoming depressed? @ShikhaMehta

Recognize signs of depression such as persistent sadness, loss of interest, or changes in sleep and appetite. It's okay to cry and process emotions, but if it becomes overwhelming, seek support from friends, family, or a therapist. Practice self-compassion and focus on learning from past mistakes rather than dwelling on them.

You are so much invested in your past which is already gone hence you are suffering in the present no amount of regret can undo the past so why not just shift your focus on your present and make things right

Hello, you recognising the problem and wanting to come out of this ,is in itself a big sign that you wish to improve fast. Now you can start by talking to someone and sorting out the issues of the past which have not gone the way you wanted, a different perspective will help. Once you are clear of what and how it happened, you will be empowered to move ahead, as you will be equipped with experience of what not to do. And always remember, what is past is past, no one can change it...so look ahead, move forward and make your future fabulous

Top discussionTuning into your live session at 6 PM sounds great! Here are 7 Benefits of taking a sun bath and how it can be good for#mental health: #BenefitsofSunBaths #TarotSagePooja 1. Vitamin D Production: Sun exposure helps your body produce vitamin D, which is essential for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to depression. 2. Improved Mood: Sunlight increases the production of serotonin, a hormone that can enhance mood and promote feelings of well-being. This can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. 3. Better Sleep: Exposure to natural light during the day helps regulate your body's circadian rhythm. This can lead to better sleep quality and duration, both of which are crucial for mental health. 4. Stress Reduction: Taking time to bask in the sun can be a relaxing experience, helping to reduce stress and anxiety levels. The warmth of sunlight can create a sense of comfort and peace. 5. Increased Mindfulness: Sunbathing encourages you to slow down and enjoy the present moment, fostering mindfulness. Practicing mindfulness can lower stress levels and improve overall mental clarity. 6. Enhanced Motivation and Energy Levels: Sunlight exposure boosts energy levels and promotes feelings of vitality, which can lead to increased motivation to engage in physical activity and social interactions. 7. Connect with Nature: Spending time outdoors in the sun helps foster a connection with nature. This connection has been shown to improve mood, reduce feelings of loneliness, and enhance overall well-being. # Conclusion Taking sun baths can have a positive impact on both physical and mental health. Remember to balance sun exposure with skin protection to avoid damage from UV rays. Enjoy your live session!
