Today I want to discuss the wonderful tool of mediation and why it should be incorporated into your daily routine. I personally start off my day with a 45 minute Yoga Nidra meditation as soon as I wake up (followed by my gratitude, affirmations, and visualization.
I find that when I meditate it totally clears my mind and allows me to approach the day with a fresh and present mindset. This is where all creativity, and greatness flows from out of a state of presence.
I have also noticed many other benefits such as an increase in focus, clarity of mind, and peace.
Many people in the Western world view meditation as an “eastern” practice and don’t give it the time of day. There are very good reasons why many cultures practice meditation on a daily basis.
Here are just a few of the many benefits of meditation:
- It lowers oxygen consumption.
- It increases blood flow and slows the heart rate.
- Leads to a deeper level of physical relaxation.
- Enhances the immune system.
- Helps with weight loss
- Builds self-confidence.
- Increases serotonin level, influences mood and behaviour.
- Resolve phobias & fears
- Helps control own thoughts
- Helps with focus & concentration
The list is endless there are literally hundreds if not thousands of benefits for meditation.
If you are just starting out I would suggest downloading a guided mediation such as brain sync which guides you through the steps. As you get more advanced with mediation you can attempt more advanced approaches.
