Health Benefits are Numerous

Numerous studies on mindfulness and meditation have been shown to help with anxiety, addiction, lower blood pressure, cancer, pain, improved memory, improved immune system, and stress management.  There is so much more.

Heart Health

Normally we think of being active and eating healthy to keep our hearts healthy.  Who would have thought that sitting quietly in meditation could help?  A Harvard Health publication shows that people who practice meditation are significantly less likely to have a heart attack or stroke or die within five years.

"Meditation can be a useful part of cardiovascular risk reduction," says cardiologist Dr. Deepak Bhatt, a professor at Harvard Medical School.  "I do recommend it, along with diet and exercise.  It can also help decrease the sense of stress and anxiety.  How meditation affects you physiologically?  It appears to produce changes in brain activity. It also can lower your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, oxygen consumption, adrenaline levels, and levels of cortisol, a hormone released in response to stress," says Dr. Bhatt.

Responsive instead of reactive

Would you like to stop being reactive and start being more responsive? Would you like to be able to respond in a way that is more beneficial for you and anyone you are working with or living with?

Brain Health

We all know or have known someone who is older, and their memory struggles, their movements are not as fluid as they once were.  Aging has an affect on our brains, which can be seen in the gray matter; the gray matter is involved in learning, memory emotional regulation,   Research shows that the gray matter of the brain changes with a continued meditation practice, creating more gray matter and a thicker cortex.  It also shows that the amygdala, which is responsible for our anxiety and stress response, actually decreases in size!
