World Meditation Day 🌻
What are the benefits?
Because practicing meditation helps us to slow our breath, quiet our mind, and take time to find peace, it can be very beneficial physically, mentally and emotionally. Meditation is now more commonly used to treat mental health disorders, addiction, and everyday stress, as well as to heal physical issues and promote better sleep.
Meditation - Stimulates our parasympathetic nervous system, or the branch of our peripheral nervous system that helps our body return to a calm, relaxed state after the threat of danger, or even daily stress, has passed. When this branch is activated our body can naturally rejuvenate, repair, and rebuild itself. Clears our mind for better quality sleep. Slows down our respiration for longer, deeper breaths. Boosts our immune by slowing down the production of the stress hormone, cortisol.
Meditiation - Reduces anxiety and depression by enabling our body to balance its own neuron- chemical systems. Enables us to make better decisions and improve critical thinking. Breaks unhealthy habits by helping us detach the emotions associated with an actionfrom the action itself. Improves communication with ourselves. When we better understand our own thought processes, we have more control over what we think.
