Physical exercise plan or meditative practice

Sitting in office chairs, couches and cars for hours, as well as other behaviors, tends to deform our musculoskeletal structure; largely because we are distracted by whatever it is we are doing at the time. Since these are inescapable events in most of our lives it becomes imperative to devote time and energy to meditation with the goal of increasing our knowledge of where we are and what we are doing in relation to our body.
The most crucial reason to endeavor in this discipline is for our immediate physical safety. As discussed previously, when the average person engages in physical exercise their plan of action is to mentally stay as far away as possible from what is going on. This is extremely dangerous as they almost always have posture deviations that, unless given attention and discovered through concentrating on the exercise, invariably lead to injury somewhere down the line.
So we find that the key to our safe success is staying of one mind while exercising, without distraction, and this can best be learned through meditative practices.
Ultimately, the goal of any physical exercise plan or meditative practice is to enhance our energy levels and augment our sense of happiness or wellbeing. In my experience, meditation is the most effective, most simple and most economical method to attaining a sense of joy as well as a feeling of personal power and limitlessness.
When coupled with diligent physical exertion the benefits are incalculable. The best part about these rewards is that they are accessible to anyone, anywhere at any time, regardless of socioeconomic status, physical ability or previous practice. Now this might seem like we are getting into a more spiritual aspect of meditation, but my experience, as well as science, contest that neural development can be engendered through meditation.
If you are one of the many who believes that meditation is baseless experiential assumption I would challenge you to research a scientific study first covered by Dan Rather called Mind Science. It is available for free on YouTube in 6 parts and demonstrates, through collaboration between modern neuroscientists and Buddhist monks including the Dalai Lama, how the actual physical brain is altered through meditation. If we can physically change our brain through meditation then it is obvious that we can shift our mental and emotional states as well, as they are regulated by the brain. Think of meditation as exercise for the brain the way push-ups are exercise for the body as both require discipline and patience but can yield unfathomable positive results for us!
In conclusion I would like to put forward that when it comes to life it is to our great benefit to keep an open mind and to explore everything we can to ensure that we are doing what is best for ourselves and for the people with which we cohabitate.
Meditation strengthens our physical body by improving our ability to breathe and concentrate as well as aiding in avoiding injury. It also creates a better sense of self-worth which benefits us individually, of course, but also does great service to the community around us as we all know how much more pleasant it is to be around happy people. So try something new today; take the time to care about yourself with the magnificent gift of meditation and I promise you will be astounded by the results!
