30 Sep Meditation can do really, really great things for your brain and for your body…
I know one quick and easy way to feel better now is to schedule a West Houston massage… and I know the investment of time and money can sometimes be a stretch… still, I believe you deserve to feel good and this short video may be an insight into a practice that can help with only a small investment of time and no financial commitment at all…
Want to feel better… in your body and in your mind?
Seeking a way to easily facilitate health and peace? The answer can be as simple a short daily meditation practice!
The science is really compelling. It shows that meditation can boost your immune system, lower your blood pressure, help you deal with problems ranging from irritable bowel syndrome to psoriasis. And the neuroscience is where it really gets sci-fi. There was a study out of Harvard that shows that short daily doses of meditation can literally grow the gray matter in key areas of your brain having to do with self-awareness and compassion and shrink the gray matter in the area associated with stress.
The common assumption that we have, and it may be subconscious, is that our happiness really depends on external factors – how was our childhood, have we won the lottery recently, did we marry well, did we marry at all. But, in fact, meditation suggests that happiness is actually a skill, something you can train just the way you can train your body in the gym. It’s a self-generated thing. And that’s a really radical notion. It doesn’t mean that external circumstances aren’t going to impact your happiness. It doesn’t mean you’re not going to be subject to the vagaries of an impermanent, entropic universe. It just means you are going to be able to navigate this with a little bit more ease.
