The reasons we meditate are as varied as the many ways there are to meditate. In the West, most people are drawn to meditation to quiet the internal chatter of the brain and to reduce stress. Meditation is, indeed, a very effective stress reducer, but its benefits—sometimes mysteriously hidden—are far more bountiful.
Scientists gathering data on meditation have found that a consistent practice not only boosts the mind, but it also bolsters the body. Studies show that meditation can help reverse heart disease, reduce pain, and support the immune system, better enabling it to fight disease.
The mind-body connection between stress and disease is abundantly apparent as science is finding that meditation can lower production of the stress hormone cortisol. This means meditators are better able to adapt to stress in their lives and its common physiologic responses, which can include:
• Heart disease
• Osteoporosis
• Sleep problems
• Digestive problems
• Depression
• Obesity
• Memory impairment
• Skin conditions
So, Why Meditate?
• Decreased blood pressure and hypertension.
• Lowered cholesterol levels.
• Reduced production of “stress hormones,” including cortisol and adrenaline.
• More efficient oxygen used by the body.
• Increased production of the anti-aging hormone DHEA.
• Improved immune function.
• Decreased anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
