“The real meditation practice is how we live our lives from moment to moment to moment.” –Jon Kabat-Zinn
As someone who strives daily to be the best I can be, to be present in the moment, minimize stress and appreciate the beauty and preciousness of life, I’m always keen to learn about scientifically-proven new health benefits of mindfulness meditation.
- Get better sleep
- Make progress toward your weight-loss goals
- Lower your stress levels
- Decrease loneliness in seniors
- Banish temporary negative feeling
- Improve attention
- Manage chronic pain
- Help prevent depression relapse
- Reduce anxiety
- Increase brain grey matter
These ten points each have what seems to me to be a reasonable explanation. What I don't understand, and never have, is why anyone would want to contort their body into such an awkward shape in order to meditate.
