To tell the truth, although I have practiced yoga for more than ten years, I don't like meditation. I stayed at home for a while because of the epidemic. One day, when I was worrying about some trivial things, I had a "meditation" in my heart. So I began to practice meditation again. Let's see how meditation has changed my body. Meditate 10 minutes every day for one year, which may affect your life! Experience sharing of primary meditation, what is meditation?

Before we start talking about our experiences, let us know what meditation is. Meditation is a kind of spiritual exercise, which is called meditation or meditation in Buddhism and Taoism. There are many ways to meditate. One is to focus on one place, such as the chakra on your body or the candle in front of you. Is to remember specific patterns and scenes, such as complex mandala patterns, sequential color scene changes and god patterns. The core concept of meditation is "awareness" (or meditation), that is, observing the present self, including thoughts and physical feelings, and everything around.

You can choose to sit cross-legged, relax, wait for a comfortable posture, or lie down (don't fall asleep). It is very helpful to find a position that suits you best and let yourself meditate comfortably. Meditation means slowing down or not thinking. If you feel the movements and feelings of your body wholeheartedly while running, it is meditation; If you start thinking while running, it's not meditation. What are the benefits of meditation to the body?

Professor Herbert Besson of Harvard Medical School found that when meditating, the oxygen consumption decreased by 17%, and the heart rate decreased three times per minute, which was the reaction when people slept. During meditation, the brain is not closed, but prevents information from entering the parietal lobe (mainly to control the sense of orientation and time), which makes people lose their sense of things around them, thus improving their attention.

Meditation is not only an act of self-exploration, but also an exercise of attention. In the era of information explosion, if there is no Internet for 10 minutes, everyone will panic; If you don't slide your mobile phone for an hour, you will have problems all over your body, which will cause our attention to drop. You can exercise your concentration again through meditation. Moreover, science and medicine have left evidence that meditation can lower blood pressure, improve immunity, reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and depression, and improve the quality of sleep. After I started to meditate, although my sleep time was as short as before, I didn't feel tired after getting up, but I felt very energetic.
