Meditation helps you stay in a clear-headed state so that when challenges come at you, you can deal with them like a ninja – in a calm, thoughtful way.” — Ray Dalio

The benefits of meditation have been staggering. 

For example, doctors and psychologists have observed that people who meditate on a regular tend to manage their cognitive abilities a lot better than those who don’t meditate.

In this article, you’ll learn how meditation can regulate your emotional state, improve focus, and slow down ages, and many new discoveries.

The Benefits of Meditation

  • Improves Focus and Discipline. Study shows that those who meditate regularly have longer attention span and focus. 
  • Improve Physical Health. Meditation can also begin to improve your physical health. You’ll be more likelier to maintain a balanced diet, since you’ll want to put good things into your body. And the more you practice meditation. The healthier your mind and body will become.
 
  • Balance Emotional State. With meditation, you’ll have more capacity to control your emotional state, nervous system, and overall well-being.
  • Be Happier. You’ll be able to increase your ability to empathize with others and having more compassion to yourself and others.
  • Studies show meditation increases brain signals in the left region of the prefrontal cortex. The part that is responsible for your positive emotions when hugging someone for instance, as oppose to the right side of the brain, which correlates with most negative emotions.
 
  • Slows Down the Aging Process. Studies show, when you open your meditation app and meditate for 10-20 minutes through-out the day, you’re more likely to have added brain cells and longer telomeres.
  • Telomeres are caps of chromosomes that can indicate your biological age.
  • Increase Immune and Cardiovascular Health. Meditation leads to relaxation. It helps clear your mind and calms your brain waves. As a result, it will reduce the cholesterol in your blood.
  • Additional research also found meditation can help with various physical health issues such as sleep problems, asthma, cancer, pain, and heart disease.
  • Lowers the necessity for Validation. Meditation makes you more aware of your thoughts and emotions. It makes you more aware of your neurotic behaviors and frees you to choose an alternate state of ideas to govern your actions.

When you meditate, your body’s chemistry changes.

As a result, your interaction with the world will also change.

You’ll be less reactive and more proactive.

With this in mind, daily meditation can ultimately open doors to your spiritual exploration, discovery, and fulfillment.
