Introduction

The mind controls our body and that is why it is most important to keep the mind and the body healthy and positive. The mind interprets what we see, what we hear, what we feel, taste, and even what we smell into thoughts. Naturally, thoughts are wild. Without our control, they easily come and go. Meditation, however, trains our mind to control our thoughts.

Our thoughts need to control, do you know why? The answer is simple. In the external world, there are many events and people that negatively impact us. That makes us think and feel negatively. When we keep pondering over those negative thoughts continuously, it negatively impacts our health, both mental and physical. Often, it is without our wish that these negative thoughts keep circling in your mind.

The mind is powerful and can be used to achieve the greatest good for ourselves and others, but it can also destroy our inner peace and health. Therefore, meditation, which includes many techniques to calm the mind and control thoughts, should be included in our daily life to keep negativity out of our lives even when we keep encountering it in our everyday life.
