Yes, I've heard meditation can work wonders for some people. I've tried meditation many times but have a VERY hard time settling my chatty mind. I personally don't rely on it for that reason but I've heard from many people that it can work very, very well.
I've heard it said that if everyone could sit silently and still there would be world peace. I don't know if that's the case but without a doubt meditation is hard! And sometimes even excruciating, becoming painfully aware of all the activity of the mind and the body and feeling like calming that is insurmountable.
Thanks for the great post!
If you're able to overcome all of that and actually sit in a meditative state for any length of time, serious kudos to you! I've veered in and out of what I would call a meditative state from time to time before but yeah....very, very hard to achieve.
I have an Indian friend who grew up with yoga and he has said to me before: 1st step, achieve calmness/control in the body by entering a still, sitting posture (asana), 2nd step calmness/control in breathing (pranayama), 3rd step calmness/control in mind (meditation). He also says that even for people who have grown up with it, it's hard and never easy.
Hey, you seem to have good understanding about that. You may want to make a post about it :) Either way, I'll follow-you as you seem like you'd have some good info that I would be interested in.
That's great! Just remember to not get discouraged if you've put in a lot of time and effort into something and you don't get many views or upvotes. If you focus on just creating quality content on a consistent basis, as well as engaging with others/commenting, etc. (as you're already doing), over time you'll build up more and more of a following.
Some people find success on here right away, but for most of us it's a slow and gradual process with a lot of effort that goes into it.

I'm new to Steemit, but I am a writer so I'm starting to see the possibilities.
Thanks for the encouragement!
