Meditation is the most effective mind-body medicine of the current times.
Meditation improves productivity, efficiency and integrative health. It is on par with regular exercise for its proven benefits and is essential exercise for the brain to remain focused and attentive.
It is proven to lead to a decrease in healthcare utilisation, having excellent effects on the cardiovascular, digestive, musculoskeletal, immune and endocrine system’s.
Regular meditation practice changes the brains response to stressful stimuli and reduces regular adrenal rushes, anxiety and stress.
Meditation from a spiritual perspective helps us gain insight into the value of impermanence, no self, and liberation of the usual mental constructs. It is a unique way to gain insight into a philosophy and way of life that has inspired for millennia.
