Meditation and your body
 Meditation can also bring about
physiological changes, which
can have important health
benefits.
 These changes include lowered
blood pressure, reduced levels of
stress hormones and increased
levels of chemicals in the brain
that enhance mood stability.
Meditation and emotional
well-being
 When you meditate, you clear away the
information overload that builds up every
day and contributes to your stress.
Emotional benefits of meditation
 Gaining a new
perspective on stressful
situations
 Building skills to manage
your stress
 Increasing self-
awareness
 Focusing on the present
 Reducing negative
emotions
Mindful Meditation made easy
It doesn’t have to be difficult.
It should be easy and peaceful.
Do not set your mind on how long it should be.
Start with 5 minutes then move to longer times.
Let’s get started
 Sit in a comfortable area.
 Cross your legs and close your eyes.
 Keep your back straight and head erect.
You can use a wall for support.
 Inhale deep into your stomach and
exhale out through the mouth.
 Hold the inhalation for a count of 3 and
exhale.
Thoughts … or ‘monkey mind’
 Random thoughts will
happen.
 Don’t fight them; let
them be.
 Meditation is always
working.
Meditation for Life
 Change will come when you least expect it.
 Practice absolutely makes it easier and
gives you more control over your health.
 Be a patient patient.
 And you can meditate ANYWHERE!
