Meditation is a practice that has been around since the 4th century. Some people look at meditation as a form of prayer to buddha. Well, it’s not. It is a way of channeling your inner calm, or a way of developing your emotional positivity. It has a lot of health benefits.

IT KEEPS YOU STRESS FREE.

Stress is a major everyday issue for people. Especially people who have to juggle work and family at the same time. Having to wake up to help the kids get ready for school and make it to work in record time can be very stressful. You need intervention, before you break down. Meditation is your way out. And it doesn’t even need any material. You can do it anywhere, at any time and it doesn’t even take time!

If you want to lose some weight but you do not want the pain and hassle that comes with fitness training, you should hang on to meditation. The positive mindset that you get into during meditation affects you internally and boosts your metabolism rate to promote weight loss.

IMPROVES BRAIN FUNCTION.

It also changes your outlook on/perception of things around you positively. It decreases mind wandering, which can be very be detrimental as it can cause worrying or stressing.

Tension headaches, muscle fatigue, moodiness and lack of sleep are symptoms of stress that most people experience on a daily basis. Stress is apart of our lives, in-fact it is a necessary part of our lives. Without it, life would be boring. Now if you agree with me on that, you would also have to agree that too much stress (acute or chronic) is bad for us. It can lead to numerous physical, mental and emotional problems like digestive problems, heart disease, skin conditions such as eczema, memory problems, paranoia, inability to concentrate, sense of loneliness and isolation, moodiness etc. As a result, it is recommended for everyone to find a way of releasing all the pent-up emotions so as to reduce stress. And the good news is; it doesn’t have to be a retreat or a spa weekend. Here, we have assembled the top three methods for reducing stress.

1. Meditation

This is becoming an increasingly popular method of reducing stress. Not only does it drastically reduce stress levels, it boosts creativity, improve emotional stability and quality of sleep. Thus, it is quite an effective method.

Sit cross-legged on the floor with your spine and neck straightened and properly aligned. Now close your eyes and free your mind. Quiet your mind and by not focusing on anything in particular. Keep trying till you get in tune with your inner silence and get into a deeper state of consciousness.

2. Deep Inhalation

Sometimes, the best way to get rid of stress is to breathe better. More oxygen intake reduces stress by supplying the brain and other parts of the body with more oxygen, reducing heart rate and lowering blood pressure.

This breathing method is called the ‘Abdominal Breathing’. Start by focusing intently on your breathing. Close your eyes and inhale slowly through your nose taking all the way to your abdomen then exhaling through your mouth. Repeat the process a couple of times when stressed and enjoy the result.

3. Laugh more

Laughing not only lowers your body’s stress hormone (cortisol), it promotes the secretion of a brain chemical called endorphins, a hormone that improves mood. Watch your favorite comedy show, a funny video or just talk to someone who makes you laugh.

These methods are very effective and can be done in less than 15 minutes. Exercise is also a very effective way to reducing stress.

Just like exercise is an approach to training the body, meditation is an approach to training the mind. It is becoming more commonly practiced now due to its numerous known benefits. Some of which are drastically reduced stress levels, increased creativity, improved emotional stability and quality of sleep, developed intuition etc. these mental and emotional benefits lead to various physical benefits like lowered high blood pressure, improved immune system, decreased tension-related pains such as tension headaches, insomnia, joint pain etc and promotes serotinin production which improves mood and behavior. Getting all these benefits, however, depend, to a large extent on your meditation technique and how well you practice it. Here are the top 5 most effective meditation techniques guaranteed to nourish you from within and give you all the afore mentioned benefits and more (if done correctly).

1. Effortless Presence

This is also known as ‘choice-less Awareness’ or ‘Pure Being’ . In this type of meditation, the mind is free, empty and quiet because attention is not focused on anything in particular. This is actually the basis of all the other types of meditation as it discovers the inner silence and deeper states of consciousness.

2. Focused Meditation Technique

this technique involves focusing intently on something but not engaging your thoughts about it. Your focus can be on a concept like ‘life after death’ or something visual like a statute. This technique keeps you in the moment and allows you to slip into an altered state of consciousness.

3. Activity-Oriented Meditation Technique

With this type of meditation, you engage in a repetitive activity in which you can mentally immerse yourself and ‘zone out’. This relaxes the mind and concentrates on the activity. Activities like practicing yoga, creating artwork, walking are examples of activity-oriented meditation.

4. Basic Meditation Technique.

With this Meditation Technique, you try to quiet your mind by sitting in a comfortable position and thinking of nothing. It might not seem like it but this is actually pretty hard to accomplish. An easy way to start is practice it gradually till you get acquainted with the technique with time.

5. Mindfulness Techniques Meditation

This is pretty similar to activity-oriented meditation as it does not really seem like meditation. With this technique, you stay in the present moment mentally instead of thinking of the past or future. You focus on your emotions, sensation and experience them rather than analyze or examine them.

Whichever technique you choose, the benefits are obvious and excessive. For this reason, meditation is largely recommended for stress management.
