Meditate for Good Health

Meditation has gained a strong following in the past years. This is because it makes people feel better. It's a true antidote to our frenetic, technological culture and lifestyle. Meditation is useful to help get relief from chronic pain, anxiety and stress. Because of this it also improves heart health, boost immunity and puts one in a good mood! Essentially, any condition or symptom that is caused by stress can find relief through meditation.
Through studies done with Buddhist monks, it has been shown that meditation can actually produce long lasting changes in human brain activity. This is particularly tied to the areas of the brain involving attention, working memory, learning and conscious perception. Meditation can also be made more powerful by using a mantra, which helps control breathing. The important thing is to make relaxation a regular part of your day.
