Meditation helps you realize your True Potential

Personal resilience is one’s ability to withstand, adapt to and recover from stress, challenges and adversities and continue to give the best.

Many employees and leadership go through several challenges – business lows, unmet expectations, attrition, financial pressures, chronical illnesses, family disputes, social problems etc. Neuroscience reveals that every repeated experience gets recorded strongly in the subconscious mind, and projects in one’s daily life, impairing personal health and work performance.

Detach from the subconscious mind programs

Research shows that people operate 90% of the time from what is stored in their subconscious mind and use only 10% of the conscious mind. Our subconscious mind stores our routine feelings, behaviors, habits, beliefs, and perceptions. When our present moment is colored by the unpleasant experiences of the past, we constantly judge, conclude and limit our performance in the current task.

To be resilient, one must first learn to detach from the memories of past experiences.

Right meditation techniques help to clear the mind and allow the limiting subconscious programs to be erased slowly. According to neuroscience, memories that are not recollected for a few days, automatically get weaker and disappear. Regular practice of breath-mindfulness meditation (Anapanasati) clears the mind of unwanted memories. One can easily feel the calmness in the mind after 3-6 weeks of meditation practice and move more into the present moment.

Develop self-awareness to overcome the present moment difficulties

This too shall pass.

One must be more mindful of the present difficult situations – these are temporary in nature and will pass soon. This requires self-awareness of thought patterns, emotional patterns and reaction patterns from moment to moment. Normally, it takes less than a second for the brain to fire a neural impulse against an environmental trigger like seeing a biased boss or hearing about a huge contract loss, and makes one respond negatively, often based on the past sub-conscious judgements and behaviors. This means there is little control on the response, and often the individual gets derailed, impacting the work on hand.
