Key Benefits of Meditation

Meditation refers to a variety of practices that incorporates techniques designed to promote calmness, relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance both personal and spiritual growth. It’s a practice where a person induces or trains the mind to go into a mode of consciousness with the aim of helping the mind and body relax and realize the many benefits that come with the practice

Benefits of meditation

Studies show that regular meditation has many benefits to your body mind and soul. Some of the main benefits of meditation include:

Better focus- Meditation is a practice that involves focusing the attention on a particular object, place or scenario and being aware when your focus drifts. This helps improve your focus even when you’re not in a state of meditation. Regular meditation is proven to help increase one’s focus

Stress reduction- Studies show that meditation helps reduce the stress hormone cortisol while increasing “feel good” hormones. During meditation, your whole body relaxes, helping you feel calm and relaxed afterward.

Increased immunity- Doctors and other medical experts recommend meditation. Studies show that progressive muscle relaxation, when practiced regularly helps boost the immune system to help fight tumors and viruses.

Emotional harmony and steadiness- Regular meditation nourishes and cleanses a person from inside out. It can help you whenever you feel stressed, overwhelmed, emotionally down or unstable.

Improves your mind- As you meditate, you focus your mind and attention at the heart of your soul. You begin to quite the mind and be at peace with yourself and are released from bothersome problems and other stresses of life. Regular meditation helps develop sustained concentration and is coupled with renewed energy, stress reduction, and improved relationships. You become more productive and efficient and are better equipped to face life challenges.

Emotional balance- To be emotionally balanced means to be free of any neurotic behaviors that come about as a result of a traumatized or injured ego. Normally it’s very hard to achieve emotional balance but meditation is a great way to cure such unhealthy emotional states and neurosis. As your mind is cleansed of any bad emotions you may have harbored, you achieve great freedom and balance.

Calmness- People who meditate are more aware of their thoughts, and are able to control them rather than allowing thoughts to have control. A meditative mind knows which thoughts to allow to blossom and which ones to let go. This ability to control thoughts greatly helps in keeping a controlled mind
