Thank you Anne-Marie Laureant, for submitting this article.
For more than two thousand years, meditation has been a part of mankind’s way of life. Every religion known to man uses a form of meditation as a means to achieve a higher form of spiritual consciousness.
At first meditation was used by religious priests, for a while now even ordinary people have been employing
meditation as a way to discover the several benefits that meditation offers.
For those who are new to meditation, it is simply the practice of concentrated and intense focus on sounds,
objects, ideas, breathing rhythm, action or movement to be able to intensify perception, cut down stress, enhance relaxation, personal and spiritual growth.
Meditation has been used in the past to build up a persons spiritual knowledge and even there awareness of the ultimate reality, but now it has begun to be employed by people who want to relieve stress and even pain.
In fact with more understanding of what meditation can do, Western medical practitioners have started to use this more because it’s a better way for one to cope with health issues, it’s also been believed to help alleviate some physical ailments. They have made it part of the regular practice of traditional medical treatment.
It is very interesting that medical clinics and even hospitals are starting to offer the practice of meditation
as a method for several of their patients to improve their health. In fact meditation has begun to be used as a method of treatment of some diseases. Also it’s being used as a way of improving overall quality of life for people who are suffering with chronic, debilitating or even incurable illnesses.
There are three approaches to meditation, transcendental, relaxtion response, and mindfulness meditation, which is the stress reduction way of meditation.
Meditation focuses on the seven major chakras, which also correspond to the body’s major endocrine glands.
If you practice meditation for at least 30 minutes a day your body’s functions will become more balanced and harmonious.
The energy flows from the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakras while meditating your entire body’s biological, emotional and spiritual aspects will be equally nourished and balanced, while this is happening the physical, emotional, and spiritual toxins are cleansed from the body.
With chakra meditation you will need to have deep concentration, and because of this uninterrupted flow of
energy your body will also have a major boost to the chakras and the corresponding endocrine counterparts.
You know how catalytic converters work? Well imagine your chakra meditation as a catalytic converter for your body. It gathers the energy outside of your body and channels it to the useful portions of your body’s chakric system.
And since your chakras are such a huge part of your body’s physical and metaphysical makeup, with fine tuning of these items our daily lives are effected either directly or indirectly, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and even spiritiually.
There a different ways that people practice chakra meditation, but no matter what way they use the may step is to be able to concentrate and allow the focus to spread throughout your body.
You will not notice an immediate change from practicing chakra meditation, but more of a gradually change that will slowly take over your thoughts to give you a more positive outlook on life. Meditation is believed to help a person live a better life and be happier both physically and emotionally.
The biggest difference that most people notice from practicing chakra meditation is their ability to concentrate better and the awareness of things around them. This benefit will be noticed in only weeks of beginning, just imagine if you’ve been doing chakra meditation for years!
Also other noted benefits of chakra meditation are heightened creativity, better resourcefulness because of
better perception. Also another proven benefit of chakra meditation is people tend to sleep much better and deeper, thus they will awake more refreshed in the morning, and overall health will also benefit by getting deeper sleep.
With daily chakra meditation, you can willfully reduce the effect of stress (although you can do away with them) from work, family, inter-personal relations, in order to better control your emotions with patience. Besides, the ability to control stress, the number one cause of many medical problems, not only leads to a healthier lifestyle but also a more confident individual.
Normally one’s overall health is greatly improved through the practice of meditation. It will help to lower blood pressure, which in turn will reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes. Also with meditation stress of people who suffer from chronic health conditions has been lowered.
Although you may only practice meditation for half an hour daily, it will greatly contribute to making your day more relaxing and enjoyable and make you live a healthier, more productive life.
