Did you know that meditation has been utilised as a relaxation method all over the world? That is because it nurtures a condition of tranquillity in the mind and body. You know that by the end of a meditation, you are certain to experience a more relaxed state of being. Mantra meditation, which is another method of meditation, nurtures a state of tranquil awareness. This kind of meditation has numerous advantages to give. Now, let us explore a few of these advantages that mantra meditation offers.
Every time that you are stressed out your body raises the level of adrenaline in your blood. As well as releasing the stress hormone known as cortisol. This hormone is always in your blood in slight quantities all the time, on the other hand, every time you are stressed out, the amount will rapidly increase and can cause physical damage to the body. Additionally, the high concentration of cortisol in your blood causes your body store superfluous fat in your abdomen.What you do when you use a mantra is to chant a certain phrase repeatedly as your body relaxes. Doing this will decrease the amount of cortisol in your blood stream. Basically the meditation returns your body to its previously calm state and helps to patch-up all physical damages produced by stress.
Furthermore, when you practice mantra meditation, not only are you reverting your body to its initial state, you are also giving your immune system a well needed booster. Studies have found that non-meditating individuals have more chance of falling sick or fall victim to colds as opposed to people who meditate. This is because when you are feeling stressed out after a hard day the stress produced can cause physical damage to the body.
Think about it when you are really mentally and physically tired, it is then easier for you to fall sick. On the other hand if you practice mantra meditation, you are giving your body and mind the time and luxury of relaxing. As your body relaxes, this supports the healing of all physical damage produced by stress.
Also, individuals who practice mantra meditation are a lot less probable to become easily exasperated or stressed when confronted with an obstacle or when something disastrous happens. This is because their mind and body will have been conditioned to relax at will. As opposed to a non-meditator, who is more likely to respond to little petty issues with anger and irritation.Another advantage of using a mantra for meditation is that it enhances your alertness. Every time that you do this kind of meditation you are actually allowing your mind to become unobstructed and relaxed. As more blood flows to the brain this then allows you to see things from a whole new viewpoint. You also become a lot more inspired and are able to find solutions to problems more resourcefully after a brief period of mantra meditation.Remember that mantra meditation rise above all religion and limitations. So there is nothing stopping you from trying it. And another thing to remember is that it is completely free! Good Luck!
