“Most people think that aging is
irreversible and we know that there are mechanisms even in the human machinery
that allow for the reversal of aging, through correction of diet, through
anti-oxidants, through removal of toxins from the body, through exercise,
through yoga and breathing techniques, and through meditation.” ― Deepak Chopra
Success is the outcome of learnable
behaviors and habits. Successful people identify and adopt certain habits and
behaviors to achieve greatness in their life.
Successful people are not born with
unique habits. They are born like any other ordinary people but cultivated a few
habits during the course of life and practiced to achieve greatness. They
relentlessly followed those habits resulting in amazing success. They were
unmindful of temporary setbacks since they had a long-term vision to accomplish
their goals. Research shows that meditation alleviates anxiety, pain and
prevents depression. It eliminates
distractions and enhances your focus to accomplish your goals.
Merits
of Meditation
When you confront challenges daily,
your mind becomes a big mess. Hence, it is advisable to do meditation daily.
Meditation cleans the cobwebs in your mind. It connects your mind, body, and
soul. It connects your inner world with outside world easily. It eliminates
stress and anxiety to ensure inner peace. It helps you understand realities in
your life. It makes you realistic and humble. It helps you empathize with
others and eliminates conflicts.
Perform
Underwater Meditation
In the Mahabharat epic, Duryodhan
performed underwater meditation to keep his mind calm and composed. He had the
ability to stay for long time under the water without breathing. Some people
interpreted it as an act of cowardice to hide below the water when he almost
lost his Kurukshetra war against Pandavas. But the fact is that when you remain
underwater for some time, your mind becomes cool and composed. You get peace
and tranquility. You reflect a lot and get energized to encounter your
challenges with confidence and mettle. You also build inner power, and you are
in a position to unlock your hidden potential.
Conclusion
We have seen several leaders and CEOs
adopting this technique in this form or other form to remain cool, calm,
composed and charismatic. It helped them work under pressure without losing
their focus and delivering their best. Most leaders take break once in a week
to keep their minds free from organizational pulls and pressures. We have also
seen employees taking a sabbatical to follow their passionate areas or to work
for nonprofits. It provides them break from routine chores and gives them sense
of satisfaction that they made a difference to the society. It energizes them
and organizes their minds. Hence, adopt this unique technique of performing
underwater meditation to unleash the leader in you.
“Thoughts lead on to purposes;
purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and
character fixes our destiny.” ― Tryon Edwards
