First of all, the physiological benefits

Meditation gives the body a comprehensive rest, especially the brain, which remains active (dreaming) even when sleeping. Meditation can completely relax the brain. During meditation, people's metabolism level drops, the blood pump of the heart decreases, the heartbeat slows down, and blood pressure also drops. Therefore, all organs of the human body rest during meditation. Internal anxiety is reduced, which affects endocrine, indirectly helps to lower cholesterol and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have pointed out that meditation can reduce the number of breaths (about 4-6 times per minute), reduce 70% of charged skin reactions, slow down the number of heartbeats (about 24 times per minute), increase alpha waves in brain waves, and reduce muscle tension.

Studies have confirmed that people who have been sitting for more than 5 years and have more than 4 months of experience have more obvious bradycardia than those who have only learned other relaxation techniques for one week. When they are stimulated (such as watching an accident movie), although their heartbeat changes are the same, they are more likely to return to normal heartbeat than those who have no experience of sitting still (or beginners).

In life and work, stress is inevitable, and the sense of stress will make the human body secrete lactate and alcohol substances in blood vessels. Such substances seriously damage human organs. Meditation will clear these chemicals from the blood vessels. In addition, meditation has a very obvious therapeutic effect on some incurable chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma.

Second, psychological benefits.

Many people think that meditation is more beneficial to the mind than to the body. In the process of meditation, people who sit still will gradually establish a better self-image in their hearts. It is difficult to explain how this process happened. It may be because meditation strengthens the activity of gamma waves in the brain and reduces the generation of negative emotions such as depression, anger, inferiority and fear. Gradually, the self-image of "I am a dynamic and charming person" will rise in the hearts of meditation participants.

And this self-image has brought about the evolution of the whole personality. A happy, emotionally stable and creative person is popular everywhere, and it is easier to realize his self-worth in the outside world.

Many artists and entrepreneurs are constantly proving one thing: they often get inspiration from meditation! Whether it is art or business creativity, when they have an epiphany in a meditation process similar to self-hypnosis, they often get unexpected surprises. Yoga has many benefits.

Third, spiritual interests.

Man is the soul of the universe. We say this not only because we can use tools, create inventions or other great achievements made by human beings, but also because human beings have the nature of continuous evolution and the ability to constantly explore their inner selves. Humans have the ability to gain "consciousness" through their own efforts. Meditation will strengthen our consciousness, making our consciousness more objective and more in line with objective laws. Practice meditation often, and you will gain great wisdom!
