New Delhi: In the race to advance careers and stay ahead in competition, basic life needs are often overlooked. People neglect proper nutrition and HEALTH. While many spend hours sweating it out in gyms to maintain physical fitness, Mental health frequently takes a backseat.
Restlessness in the mind and brain gradually turns into stress, insomnia, and anxiety. This affects the entire body, making a person vulnerable to both mental and physical illnesses. However, meditation can act as a lifeline for the mind and brain, helping restore inner peace and bring balance to life.
Meditation is not just sitting with closed eyes; it is a science of connecting with the limitless energy within. Just 20 minutes of meditation daily provides energy to the mind, brain, and body, while also offering profound calmness. Ayurveda links meditation to the health of the body and mind, aiming to keep both peaceful and happy. Scientifically, meditation is called the brain’s restart button, as it produces ‘alpha’ and ‘theta’ waves and helps prevent overthinking or ‘overclocking’ of the brain.
Meditation is essential for both mind and body in several ways. Practicing meditation for 20 minutes daily reduces stress and lowers the production of cortisol, the stress hormone, in the body. It also increases happy hormones and encourages focusing on positive thoughts and happiness. Another benefit is improved memory. Forgetfulness is increasingly seen even among young people and children today.
Women often face memory problems during and after pregnancy due to hormonal imbalances. Meditation aids in improving memory and enhances learning abilities. Surprisingly, regular meditation also strengthens the immune system, reducing the risk of illness and promoting mental well-being.
A third benefit is deep and restful sleep. Daily activities and frequent phone use disrupt sleep patterns. Meditation supports the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, leading to better and deeper sleep. Regular meditation also delays aging and helps cells repair effectively.
