Meditation: Brain and Body Therapy

Meditation has a profound effect on our bodies. This ancient form of deep

relaxation provides a moment of repose to recharge ourselves. In return, our bodies thank us with lower blood pressure, reduced anxiety and improved mood. Meditation has also been shown to decrease the risk of chronic disease and enhance quality of life. But there’s more to it. Many people experience heightened clarity of thought. The brain just seems to work better.

The perception that the brain is functioning at a higher level is no illusion. Numerous studies have dissected the many processes enhanced by meditation, which has been proven to increase brain density and boost connections between neurons.
