Meditation – Benefits for your Body
Meditation often thought of as a path to self-awareness and compassion, can also be a path to better health.
Now let’s look at how mediation benefits your body.
What can mediation do for your physical health?
10 Body Benefits below.
Reduce pain: Chronic pain can ruin your life, constantly having to take pain relief and not being able to enjoy day-to-day life. It has been shown that regular Meditation can improve emotional reactions to pain.
Lower blood pressure: It may not work for all people with high blood pressure, but research shows that in most cases, Meditation helps. Stress causes increased blood lactate levels, which are reduced with regular practice. It’s not 100% why this happens, but it’s worth a try.
Improves immune system: Regular Meditation can increase the number of CD-4 cells, which sounds complicated, I know. These immune system helpers tell other cells about an infection, so they destroy it.
Enhances your sex life: Meditation can make you better in bed and improve orgasms. Tell me more. I hear you SHOUT! It is an incredibly powerful stress-reducing tool. Therefore, it stands to reason that Meditation can increase sexual desire and performance by reducing cortisol and adrenaline levels. Think about it: do you feel aroused when you are stressed out?
Helps reduce incidents of burnout: Research shows that regular Meditation can prevent burnout and improve satisfaction at work. So, actually, having some YOU time can make work time better. A new reason why you should have a work-life balance?
Increasing body confidence and satisfaction: Through Meditation, we can rewrite the stories we’ve been telling ourselves about our body image and learn to befriend our body. By intentionally spending time with our minds, we can increase self-love, find acceptance, and build the strength and confidence to start loving ourselves.
Slows down the ageing process: Meditation leads to the retention of longer telomeres, partly because one of the primary causes of their shortening is stress. Telomeres are the tiny little cell components that have much to do with how we show our age. Meditate and stay younger longer!
Reduces the genes linked to inflammation: Research shows that people suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and asthma — in which psychological stress plays a significant role see a reduction in symptoms with Meditation.
Helps reduce symptoms for many disorders: Have you been suffering, in pain, and your disorder taking over. Regular Meditation can improve symptoms of stress-related conditions, including – Irritable bowel syndrome Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Fibromyalgia.
Helps prevent or reduce Dementia and Alzheimer’s: Researchers found that the group who performed Meditation and yoga at least two hours per week had less atrophy in parts of the brain and better brain connectivity than the control group. This finding gives them hope that the practice of Meditation and yoga may prevent or slow the progression of these terrible diseases.
If you saw an advert for a magic pill that could make you love yourself more, slow down your ageing process, improve your performance in the bedroom and help with symptoms of painful disorders, would you buy it?
What would you pay for it?
Instead of spending your hard-earned cash on a placebo, why not try mediation?
