Reduced Levels of Stress
Many studies have found that meditation can reduce stress levels by reducing the inflammation response caused by stress. If a person is stressed, they produced increased levels of cortisol, a stress hormone which can release inflammatory chemicals in the body known as cytokines. Meditation reduces the body’s response to cytokines. Those who meditate can, in turn, see a reduction in the symptoms of conditions that are related to stress such as PTSD and irritable bowel syndrome.
Enhances Self-Awareness
Meditation allows you to develop a stronger understanding of yourself, allowing you to grow and learn. It allows you to take the time to consider your feelings and how you interact with those around you. Meditation also allows you to focus on clearing your mind of negative thoughts that may be self-defeating or destructive, allowing you to find more constructive ways to tackle issues. Problem solving skills are also seen to improve through meditation as it allows a person to think more creatively.
Calmness and Company
Studies have also shown that adults who experience loneliness and lack social contact found meditation to be a comfort, reducing these feelings.
Increases Attention Span
Mediation requires concentration and due to this it can help increase the length of your attention span. Studies have shown that those who meditated had a greater attention span and accuracy when completing tasks. It can also lead to a better memory after practicing meditation from 8 weeks.
Improved Emotional Health
As we have discussed above, meditation enhances self-awareness and can have a positive impact on self-image and a person’s outlook. It has been proven to reduce depression and limits negative thoughts, which both lead to improved emotional health.
