Benefits of meditation
New students will often ask about the benefits of meditation and energy healing. In order to provide my students and friends with a clear understanding of the benefits they can expect from meditating, I have prepared this document.
The benefits of meditation can be broken down into two subgroups – its emotional and mental aspects, and its physical benefits.
Benefits for the Mind:
- Improve your ability to relax
- Attain a higher state of awareness
- Increase your ability to concentrate
- Learn the skill of self-observing (the first step to self-improvement)
- Gain ability to suspend logical thought processes and control your emotions through this technique
- Decrease stress levels at work and home
Benefits for the Body:
- Improve respiration
- Change your metabolism
- Control your heart rate
- Lower your blood pressure
- Improve brain chemistry
These conclusions are based on strictly scientific research carried out by Dr. Herbert Benson of the Mind-Body Medical Institute.
