The Benefits that Come with Meditation
We all have daily routine depending on our
careers and occupations. A student has a different kind of routine from a
professional lawyer, and also different from a full time mum. However, despite
all the differences these lifestyles have, one thing is common; all these
people go to bed tired in the evening. Some are tired physically, others
mentally and others emotionally. It is even worse for the one who works while
studying and then goes at home to perform their parental duties. No wonder
people are becoming worn out and sick at very early stages in their life.
However, this is not the story for those who have mastered the art of
meditation.
There are many ways through which we can relax
and unwind from all the hustles that come in life. However, meditation is one
of those things that are very peculiar. Meditation has many benefits that
accompany it if only it is practiced in the right way. It has benefits not only
mentally and psychologically but also physically, emotionally ands socially. It
is a practice that even doctors “prescribe” to their different patients as part
of the treatments that will help in recovery.
Medically, meditation has been proven to work,
though it does this in a very simple way. When you meditate, you put your focus
on a specific thing or part of your body. When you do this, this sends extra
supply of blood to the part which you are thinking about. Therefore, if you are
paralyzed and you focus on your limb that is paralyzed during meditation, then
blood flow is increased to the limb and, together with other treatment and
medication, the limb starts feeling again.
For those who suffer from hypertension and
complications related to high blood pressure, meditation is the right medicine.
Meditation causes the circulatory system to relax, and blood pressure is
regulated back to normal. As a result, the heart is relaxed and it stops
getting over worked. This, in turn, causes other organs to be healthy and the
general health of the person is improved.
Meditation also has emotional, mental,
spiritual and social impact as well. When some one meditates, they go beyond
their physical self, and they get energy from a higher power especially a
deity. This, combined with the fact that body tissues relax, causes the person
practicing meditation to be happy and cheerful. As a result, the person is
easier to be with and to relate with, and this person becomes more socially fit
that the one who does not do meditation.
