Meditation
Meditation, which is the practice of focused concentration, bringing yourself back to the moment over and over again, actually addresses stress, whether positive or negative.
Meditation can also reduce the areas of anxiety, chronic pain, depression, heart disease and high blood pressure.
The following seven examples are some of the best-known ways to meditate:
- Loving-kindness meditation.
- Body scan or progressive relaxation.
- Mindfulness meditation.
- Breath awareness meditation.
- Kundalini yoga.
- Zen meditation.
- Transcendental Meditation.
Benefits from Meditation
Although it is not an exact science, the consensus seems that to see benefits from meditation, you should aim for at least 10 minutes a day at a minimum.
However, each person will respond differently, so it’s important to test out longer meditation periods if 10 minutes does not seem to be making a difference for you.
