Meditation is a mind and body practice that has long been used to increase calmness and physical relaxation; improve psychological balance; help people to cope with illness and enhance overall health and well-being. Meditation is often seen as a spiritual practice and, as a result, it can be difficult to think of it as something with proven, scientific benefits. However, the reality is, meditation has real, physical effects on your mind and body.
The popularity of meditation is increasing as more people discover its benefits. Many people think of it as a way to reduce stress and develop concentration while others use the practice to develop beneficial habits and feelings, such as a gaining a positive mood and outlook, achieving self-discipline, having healthy sleep patterns and even increasing pain tolerance.
Even big companies like Google, Salesforce, Aetna, Goldman Sachs Group, Blackrock and Bank of America are offering mindfulness training for employees. They are using this ancient practice to improve leadership skills and collaboration and to decrease healthcare costs.
Many studies have looked at how meditation may be helpful for a variety of conditions, such as high blood pressure, psychological disorders and pain.
A number of studies have even helped researchers learn how meditation might work in relation to its effects on the brain. Some research suggests that practising meditation may reduce blood pressure, the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
