Meditation has been used in many cultures for thousands of years, but recently its health benefits have also been discovered in the west. Meditation benefits include stress relief, better sleep, increased concentration, relaxation and a more positive attitude towards life.
Regular sessions can help prevent stress and anxiety. Meditation has even been shown to boost the immune system, although it is not completely clear how it accomplishes that.
There are countless meditative practices, and a suitable method for everyone. Mindfulness is an especially popular technique today. Based on Buddhist practices, but suitable for everyone, mindfulness has been shown in research studies to increase concentration skills, relieve stress and anxiety, alleviate some types of depression, improve sleep and help to develop better sleeping patterns.
If you want to make the most of meditation benefits, try to practice your chosen method every day, ideally in the morning and in the evening. These sessions do not have to be long ones for you to enjoy the benefits. Even 5-10 minutes is enough to start with, but with regular practice, you can begin to enjoy longer sessions.
