Meditation
MEDITATION is beneficial for everyone, especially those with hectic, stressful lives. It teaches you how to manage stress, which in turn enhances your overall physical health and emotional well-being.
In meditation, the overactive mind is calmed and turned inward. Meditation soothes the nervous system, balances the right and left hemispheres of the brain, centres attention, gives perspective and clarity, improves the powers of concentration, improves memory, improves confidence, gives a sense of purpose, frees the spirit, and increases spiritual strength.
Try the following meditation extracted from the learning mediation web site, http://www.learningmeditation.com/room.htm for a peaceful and relaxed mind.
Find a comfortable space, either sit or lie in a relaxed position. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Inhale, and then exhale at a comfortable pace.
Continue your rhythmic breathing. If you become distracted refocus on your breath.
As you sink into comfort and relaxation, see yourself basking in a waterfall of sunlight and crystal water. As the sun and water cascade over your body you absorb the healing oxygen carried within your blood vessels though your whole system.
The oxygen heals and releases the holding contraction of each muscle. Each muscle becomes soft and pliable. Tension gives way to relaxation. The cascade of sunshine reminds you of the source of all energy. Your whole being sings with release and renewal as the source refuels and fortifies your body and spirit.
The healing vision of cascading sunshine and water is yours whenever you want it to be. Come back to this space whenever you want to, know that this space is always available even for a moment. Be aware once again of your breath.
Inhale... exhale as your re-enter the space around you. Open your eyes and carry your renewed energy to all with whom you come in contact.
Many scientific studies have been conducted on the effects of meditation, and have found it helps with backaches, cholesterol, headaches, blood pressure, insomnia, anxiety, and other symptoms of stress. The reason is simple -- meditation gives the body access to a powerful form of relaxation that lets it heal and rejuvenate and be ready to enjoy life. A healthy mind = a healthy body!
