Improves your sleep pattern
These days, getting the recommended eight hours of sleep is quite uncommon. Especially when most of us spend substantial amounts of time in front of the blue light, just before sleeping. Not giving proper rest to your body and mind can make your day irritable and groggy. Research proves meditation is beneficial for chronic insomnia. Just 10 minutes of meditation before bed not only relaxes your mind but also releases—as studies claim—melatonin, the sleep hormone.
Increases productivity
When you start your day with mediation, it increases the oxygen and blood flow to your brain, alerting it and preparing you for the day—improving your daily productivity and efficiency. With increased focus and productivity, you get more done in less time.
A Harvard Medical School study demonstrated the changes in brain waves through meditation, drastically improving the brain’s functionality. Dr Fred Travis, neuroscientist and PhD in Psychology at Maharishi International University, using the Harvard study noted the relationship of an integrated brain with success. Simply put, daily meditation can help you achieve your goals and find success.
Enhances learning
Meditating daily increases the brain’s ability to adapt to new challenges and environments. It helps the brain’s ability to store more information, enhancing your cognition and learning ability. Daily meditation improves focus and aids in effectively dealing with disorders like ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and anxiety.
Awakens your intuitive abilities
Daily meditation allows you to listen to your inner self. When your inner self is awakened you become more intuitive. In a study led by Wake Forest University, researchers observed the brains of 15 volunteers before and after just four days of mindfulness training. In addition to a host of other brain enhancements, the freshly minted meditators increased the activity and inter-connectivity in their ventromedial prefrontal cortex—the axis of intuition. What does this mean for you and me? Daily meditation hits the switch on our brain’s axis and links us directly to our ultra-powerful, yet elusive, sense of inner-knowing.
Spiritual awakening
The whole process of spiritual awakening could be described as seeing life for what it really is and living every moment with that knowledge. When you are able to clear the everyday rush from your mind and listen to yourself, your consciousness will start shining through. You will be able to see how beautiful and blissful life really is. Enlightenment and deeper meaning in life are not religious or esoteric, but very practical states accessible to everyone.
It is typically advised to begin your day with meditation, but meditation can be done anytime, even before going to bed. Whenever you choose to meditate, you must keep a few things in mind: Ensure you are in a quiet environment. Put your gadgets away and sit in a straight posture. If possible, meditate at the same time every day to turn it into a habit and draw maximum benefits from it.
