Meditate to Stay Beautiful

It has been accepted by many societies that meditation brings about certain positive effects on a person’s well-being. Meditation has been known to improve energy levels and help a person achieve peace of mind. But another fact about meditation that is not well known to most people is that it helps a person improve his appearance.

Yes, meditation not only brings spiritual benefits but also physical well-being. It is associated with increasing melatonin levels. Melatonin is a hormone that is important in supporting the immune system, slows down cell damage, delays the process of aging, and promotes restful and deep sleep. It is also associated with improving a person’s energy levels and inhibiting the growth of the dreaded cancer cells.

Melatonin is a substance that is produced by the brain’s pineal gland. The pineal gland has been dubbed the “seat of the soul” by the famous philosopher, Descartes. It is also taught by the Hindus that the pineal gland’s location is influential to the happiness of the person.

The researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center made some great discoveries about the effect of meditation on the production of melatonin. They observed that the people who were engaged in some type of meditation obtained higher levels of melatonin than the people who did not meditate. This finding was recently confirmed by a recent study which was published in the Biological Psychology Journal.

The section below contains some tips on how to meditate:

-Find a serene and quiet location.

The environment is very important in meditating. One must free himself from all distractions which can be brought about by the surrounding environment.

-Be comfortable

Once a good location is obtained, one can sit on a chair or sit on the floor with the legs crossed (Indian style) to start meditating. The head, shoulders, neck and back should be comfortable and no stress should be felt.

-Focus

Meditating involves being aware of oneself and your activities. You must free your mind of other thoughts which are related to the past and the future, and you must feel the present and be able to focus on the self.

-Feel the breathing

Feeling the air enter and exit your lungs is a good way to start meditating. It means that you have achieved the focus that is needed to go into a deeper level of meditation.

-Observe your thoughts

The mind tends to fly away when meditating, stay with your thoughts and observe the activities of the mind.

These are some tips on how to meditate. Meditation is not only good for the soul but also for your physical appearance. Try it!
