The primary purpose of practicing meditation is to calm down our mind and increase our power of concentration. Once our spiritual soul is calm and peaceful, all our mental discomforts, worries, tensions, stresses and strains will automatically be removed which will help us to enjoy and experience a tension free happy life. On the other hand, if our mind is restless, it will be very difficult for us to live in peace and enjoy life no matter how much luxurious and comfortable our living environment is. Thus it is very important to practice meditation on a regular basis, as it helps us to attain mental peace and satisfaction so that we can experience a happier life. The common reasons as to why we should meditate are as follows:



1. It helps us to attain a greater faith and understanding one's belief, prejudices and religion.



2. It enhances our level of consciousness and patience.



3. It imparts a feeling of calmness and peacefulness.



4. It helps us in surfacing our past memories.
