Hi everyone
10 reasons to meditate
Research has documented many health benefits of regular meditation practice. Here are 10 of them:
Reduced stress: Meditation may decrease stress. It can also improve symptoms of stress-related conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Improved memory: Better focus through regular meditation may increase memory and mental clarity. These benefits can help fight age-related memory loss and dementia.
Increased attention: Meditation helps with attention span, allowing you to stay focused longer.
Enhanced willpower: Meditation develops the mental discipline needed to avoid unhelpful habits.
Better sleep: Meditation can shorten the time it takes to fall asleep and improve sleep quality.
Less pain: Meditation can reduce pain and boost emotion regulation. Together with medical care, this may help treat chronic pain.
Lower blood pressure: Blood pressure decreases during meditation and over time in people who meditate regularly. This can reduce strain on the heart and blood vessels and help prevent heart disease.
Less anxiety: Regular meditation helps reduce anxiety. It can also help with mental health issues like social anxiety, fears and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.
Less depression: Meditation can help reduce the occurrence of depression.
Greater compassion: Meditation can help you better understand yourself, find your best self, and increase positive feelings and actions toward others.
