Many people find meditating a simple way to refresh their mind and body. If they take regular time to meditate, they find that the benefits are many.
There are quite a few physical benefits to meditating. These include decreased heart rate, lowered blood pressure, and increased concentration. The relaxation level increases dramatically, as well.
There are spiritual healing benefits to meditation, too. Meditation with a cd for spiritual healing can be extra deep. Let’s take a look at these benefits.
Take Deep Breaths
When you meditate, in order to fully benefit you need to take deep breaths. This helps you reach the levels of relaxation needed. The deep breaths help give your body the oxygen it needs to keep the body in working condition, all the way to the cell level. As for healing (spiritual and physical) during meditation, since healing occurs at the cell level as we release toxins through the sweat glands, etc., this increased oxygen helps the with body healing, even spiritual, through meditation.
Think Deeply
During meditation, you should release all conscious thought. You shouldn’t be thinking about your frustrations with your work, or your kids, or even how you’ve struggled to lose weight. All those thoughts – whatever they consist of – that are jumbling around in your head need to be get go.
Many people find the use of a word or phrase can help them release all the other thoughts. Like the stereotypical “om”, a monosyllabic word can give the body and brain something to focus on other than the cares of the day. Staying centered on the word or phrase can take the meditation experience to a deeper level.
Instead of thinking of all the usual things that run through your head, you can take the time to communicate with any “higher power” you believe in. Whether that is the Divine Source, God, Heavenly Father, or someone else, using this time for prayer and connection with a higher power can help give you spiritual healing during meditation.
Listening To Inner Awareness
While meditating, part of spiritual healing involves listening to the inner part of you that is more aware of life. It is the part that we rarely tap into but, acknowledging it and listening to it can refresh our spirit and our soul.
Renewed spirit
Meditation leaves one with a refreshed spirit and a new perspective on life and its challenges. Something about meditating affects the body and soul in a way that leaves you feeling good about yourself. What could be better than that?
