Three Health Benefits Of Meditation
Whether you're new to yoga and meditation, or you're well versed in how these holistic health techniques can benefit you, it's always helpful to hear that you're doing the right things to benefit your health. At Shekhinah Holistic, we're proud to offer yoga and meditation options that can help you take your health to the next level. Let's take a look at some of the benefits you can get from a regular yoga and meditation practice.
​
Decreased stress - In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it can be hard to take a moment just to breathe. When you have a regularly scheduled time carved out of your day or week to focus on yoga and/ or meditation, you get into the habit of checking in with yourself and focusing on your needs. This means that you're better able to manage your schedule, and better able to communicate with the people in your life regarding what you need to feel happy and healthy. Regular time to connect with your mind and emotions through yoga and meditation is a key part of keeping your stress levels low.
​
Decreased blood pressure - When your stress levels decrease, your health tends to improve. As you get into a regular practice of yoga and meditation, it's likely that your blood pressure will go down. If you're taking a prescription medication to lower your blood pressure, it's important that you talk with your doctor before stopping or changing your medication. Ask your doctor if they think engaging in regular yoga and meditation might be a helpful natural way to decrease your blood pressure.
​
Improved sleep - It's easy to go from one thing to the next, never giving your body time to rest. When you practice yoga and meditation, your body learns how to calm down, which quickly translates to better sleep. For many people, great sleep doesn't just happen - it's a practice that needs to be learned. During meditation, you'll learn how to channel your thoughts, and eventually, you'll be able to focus on something other than the stresses of the day. It may take time to notice that your sleep has improved, but with regular practice, it will eventually happen.
