I am a skeptic when it comes to mediation. There is no causal relationship between mediation and it's supposedly good side effects. But, it works for most people. I have always been perplexed about this.
Taking time off to meditate means you have got time to spare. When u meditate, you are focused on doing it. In the process, we take some time off from the triviality of everyday-ness. It slows down the pace of our life. It has got a serendipitous effect of taking a step back to view options.
In effect, mediation can be considered as a form of self deception. Self deception is a tool which helps us to be sane, in times of adversity. Take a look at our life. All the synchronicity we see are some kind of delusion. It is just series of random events happening asynchronously.
In Life, at a human scale, everything we do, even sitting idle, has got a positive consequence to narrate, at some point in life. If you feel or think that something is the cause of your well being, you can deceive yourself by thinking that it is useful. It is all about internal consistency.
Even terrorists think that, they are doing good to the world, by killing all evil atheists, dis-believers, corrupt people etc. It is also another way to look at the world. Meditation has got a soothing effect and it seems to be an effective way to ward off pressure for some. I am sure that, it is some kind of self deception. Does it work for you? Perhaps yes!
