BENEFITS OF MEDITATION

Meditation, which focuses on calming the mind, has been shown to reduce the body’s stress response and lower blood pressure. This physical reaction can reduce inflammation, chronic pain, fatigue, and heart disease.

Meditation can slow racing thoughts and regulate breathing, which calms the nervous system. Meditation can also help to break negative thought patterns through mindfulness and emotional regulation.

Research shows the brains of people who meditate regularly are healthier and less likely to show age-related loss of function. They also have a stronger ability to concentrate and can process negative emotions like fear, anger and grief in healthy ways.
