5
Reasons to meditate
1.
Increased Concentration and focus
In
one study, results showed that performance related to attention and accuracy
was heightened in a group of meditators as compared to a control group that did
not meditate. In addition, long-term meditators demonstrated greater attention
capabilities than short-term meditators. It seems that the more you meditate
the better the effects are. The study concluded that meditation appears to
result in improvements in aspects of intelligence, school grades, learning ability,
and short-and long-term recall.
In
addition, one hundred fifty-four Chinese high school students were randomized
into a meditation group and a napping group. The meditation group demonstrated
significantly increased practical intelligence, field independence, creativity,
and speed of information processing, as well as significantly decreased anxiety
compared to the control group. Two other studies replicated these findings.
2.
Increased Self-Esteem
One
study, revealed a significant increase in positive personality growth. As the
length of meditation practice grew so did self-esteem. Specifically, meditators
with more experience reported themselves to be more confident, relaxed,
satisfied, conscientious and less anxious than their less experienced peers.
3.
Decreased Levels Of Anxiety, Stress and Depression
A
study examined the effects of a meditation program on 78 medical and premedical
students. Results showed increased levels of empathy and decreased levels of
anxiety and depression in the meditation group as compared to the control
group. Furthermore, these results held during the students’ stressful exam
period. Luckily for the control group, the findings were replicated when they
received the same meditation intervention.
4.
Being present for yourself and what is sacred
In
the same study as the one noted above in #3, the meditation group scored
significantly higher on a measure of spiritual experience. The results were
again replicated when the control group received the same treatment. Ok, here’s just one more, let’s call it a
bonus reason to inspire you to get that meditation practice started!
5.
Health Benefits
You’ve
probably heard that meditative practices are being utilized in a variety of
health care settings. According to the study, these practices are used as
interventions for: cardiovascular disorders, reduction of psychological
distress, and reduction of medical symptoms. The research suggests that
meditation may be an effective intervention for: cardiovascular disease,
chronic pain, anxiety, and panic disorder, substance abuse, dermatological
disorders, reduction of psychological distress and symptoms of distress for
cancer patients.
Not
all grocery stores are created equal.
Each has products they are paid more to display. The “natural” grocers do the same! Again, read labels, be a smart consumer, user
and self advocate! I recommend:
REMEMBER:
ALL human beings are able to support the body’s
intelligence and our own healing powers by using the natural elements: fresh
air, pure sunlight, clear water, health foods, rest, and movement.
