Benefits of Meditation
Here's just a few..
Reduces Stress
Meditation reduces stress, it relaxes the nervous system and switches it out of the “fight or flight” mode. This means that the body can use it’s resources to heal, absorb nutrients and regulate far more efficiently. Stress can also lead to conditions like chronic inflammation, which can be linked to the development of various diseases, including cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, alzheimers, arthritis, and asthma.. So it goes without saying that a reduction in stress is a vital part of good physical health.
Calms The Mind & Raises Awareness
Meditation calms the mind, and as a result, reduces mental chatter.. This is very liberating and allows you to just be here, in the moment.. What also happens is that your awareness raises and becomes keener, so that you become aware of your thoughts, rather than identifying with them. This is very helpful as it enables you to recognise repetitive thought patters and return to the restfulness of your natural state.
Anti ageing
Meditation causes the release of potent antioxidants, these antioxidants balance out free radicals that cause cell deterioration, ageing and disease. Meditation is also proven to lengthen Telomeres, which protect the DNA and further slow down the ageing process..
balances emotions
Meditation enables us to feel and release our emotions, rather than resist them. When we resist our emotions, we keep them where they are and block their way through and out of our system. Through Meditation, emotions are allowed to flow naturally, and an unhealthy stagnant pond becomes a healthy flowing river..
Increases Creativity & Focus
Meditation brings more creativity and focus into our lives by allowing our attention to sit behind thoughts and in the space that has also been coined “The Zone” this is the place many creatives, athletes etc speak about where ideas flow and there is a clear unwavering focus.
Deep peace
The deep peace that comes with Meditation is incredible! This deep peace not only occurs during Meditations, but begins to permeate your whole life. You will notice that where before there was no peace, now there is peace.. Peace is your true nature, and all that Meditation does is reveal that to you..
