THE BENEFITS OF MEDITATION
Give yourself the gift of a natural high – a gift that just keeps giving!!!! By Gillian Dalgliesh, Hypnotherapist & Healer Meditation is a clinically proven state of deep relaxation and a self-healing method which creates harmony & a tranquil mind. It’s a lovely, conscious detachment from our busy daily lives or thoughts by focusing on our breath. It’s a type of mind/body complementary medicine. It’s easy to do, it has fabulous benefits, and it’s free!!! Meditation isn’t just about the mind - your whole physical self undergoes change, such as • lowered blood pressure • increased levels of nitric oxide in the blood – helping to reduce anxiety attacks and depression • increased serotonin – leading to improvements in mood & behaviour • a boosted immune system – thus positively affecting auto-immune health conditions • it decreases tension-related pain, such as headaches, musculoskeletal disorders • Increases energy levels – the stressed out brain uses up and depletes energy levels • It actually alters the brain, enabling us to sustainably better manage the ‘fight, freeze or flight state of mind’ & panic states Meditation takes us from our busy beta brainwaves state to our alpha brainwaves – a state of wakeful relaxation where we can rest & repair. It nourishes us from within and calms us. With regular practice, we can build up our emotional resilience and create a default state of wellbeing, equilibrium & peace.
