Benefits of Meditation

May 17, 2009

Since I’m on my new journey of daily meditation I just wanted to list some of the researched findings of the benefits of meditation. So here is a list of some benefits, both psychological benefits and physical benefit.

Physical Benefits:

* Meditation decreases the metabolic rate and lowers the heart rate, thus indicating a state of deep rest and regeneration.

* Meditation reduces stress which is indicated by lower levels of stress-hormones such as cortisol.

* Meditation reduces high blood pressure.

* Leads to a deeper level of relaxation.

* Reduces anxiety attacks by lowering the levels of blood lactate.

* Enhances the immune system. Research has revealed that meditation increases activity of ‘natural-killer cells’, which kill bacteria and cancer cells.

* Also reduces activity of viruses and emotional distress.

Psychological Benefits:

* Meditation helps to decrease anxiety, depression, irritability and moodiness.

* Meditation improves memory.

* Increased clarity in thinking and reasoning ability

* Increased self-actualization.

* Increased emotional stability.

Like I said, this is just a partial list of the benefits of meditation.

    Happy New Year!!

    We have before us a new year.

    What a blessing, and what an opportunity.

    I know that we can have a great and prosperous year, regardless of where we are starting at this time. Even if your job changed or your rerlationships need work, or you have distressing family problems, the new year is a time for hope with a firm prospect of things getting better.

    Let’s put the difficulties behind us, even failed terrorist attacks and perennial bad economic news that seems to float around in big black clouds.

    With all its problems, difficulties, bad people and rough situations, it is still a wonderful world with limitless opportunities!

    See how you can find your opportunities in your own genius mind!

    Choose not to be limited by your past and your circumstances.

    Access you own internal power.
