Health Benefits Of Meditation

A lot of people I know laugh at it. Whenever I bring up the subject, they give me a smirk and change the subject. How could meditation have any kind of health benefits? Isn't it no different from sitting in a chair and watching some mindless TV? Well, in actuality, meditation, when practiced correctly, is a lot different from sitting in a chair and watching mindless TV. This article is going to share with you just a few of the many health benefits that come from meditating. I have no doubt that after reading this, you will see how meditation may just be the one thing that will improve your health considerably.

One of the main benefits of meditation, and maybe one of the most important is that it lowers your oxygen consumption. The reason for this is because meditation, when done correctly, actually slows down the heart rate. This in turn leads to shallower, more regular breathing, which is turn lowers oxygen consumption. This in turn is better for your heart as well as your whole respiratory system.

Another benefit of meditation is for heart patients. Those who have either suffered from heart attacks or who have heart problems benefit greatly from meditation because they build up more tolerance to exercise, which is important in getting back in shape after a heart attack.

Another great benefit of meditation is for muscle tension. Meditating regularly is great for relieving tension headaches and other muscle aches. It even helps in reducing the pain from arthritis. As a natural pain reliever, meditation is a near miracle. I overcame numerous painful earaches simply by meditating.

For women, mediation is great in combating pre menstrual syndrome. Many of the terrible symptoms of PMS are reduced from meditating, including cramps and headaches.

If you want to build up your immune system, mediation is an excellent way to accomplish this. By regular meditation, your cells will rebuild themselves quicker over time. In general, you will simply feel better if you regularly meditate.

There's a lot more but this should give you a pretty decent idea of how beneficial meditation can be to you. So while a lot of my friends are laughing, I'm feeling better than I have ever felt in my life.

Meditation: Try it sometime. You might find the results surprising.

To YOUR Health,
