Physical benefits of meditation

Wednesday 24 February 2010

Meditation rests the body and mind, reducing heart rate and blood pressure.

*The need for sleep is gradually reduced. (sometimes to as little as three hours a night)

*Each part of the body is given time to relax and rejuvenate, right down to a cellular level.

*Breath becomes slower and relaxed, thus helping to combat stress. (Our breath tends to be a replica of how we are feeling. If we are panicked, our breath is fast and shallow, calm-our breath is slower and deeper. )

*Helps to prolong the body's period of growth and cell production, and reduces the decaying and degenerative process.

*From the age of 35yrs, brain cells die off at a rate of 100,000 per day and not replaced. meditation can help to reduce this decline, as it changes the vibratory make-up of both mind and body, and so helping to reduce and prevent senility.
