What is meditation and why is it so important? Well, to break it down- just like your body, your mind needs to exercise too- and meditation is precisely that. Founder and Director of Lifestyle Yoga Sumit Manav reveals the key benefits of meditation.

Body: A peaceful mind is the first step to curb palpitations, headache, and blood pressure fluctuation. Also, its positive effect on controlling diabetes, heart disorders, digestion, and chronic pain have also been observed over time.

Mind: A healthy mind is the key to wellbeing and meditation helps maintain that. It reduces anxiety, stress, insomnia, and fatigue. It is also widely known to work positively on patients with ADHD, creating a balance of sound body and mind.

Lifestyle Benefit: Once the ropes of meditation are reigned in, it becomes easier to focus and live better. For instance, it becomes easier to pan out your day, put in more clarity in each chore, sleep better, and relax. It encourages you to work on improving your body, relationships, resulting in holistic development.

Creativity: A clear, focused mind is a cauldron of creativity. From your thoughts, aspirations to your actions; novelty and creativity merge in seamlessly. Solving problems becomes easier. What would have once seemed like a one way approach, digresses into a multi-way street- thereby coaxing you to look at the same problem from different angles, with deeper perspective.

Spiritual Growth: Growth of a person doesn’t just involve the body and mind; it also involves the soul or spirit. While spirituality may have different connotations for different people, the end goal is the same– self-realization, increased awareness, and overall peace.

Personal Growth: Once the three ideals are attained, personal growth isn’t far away. Your decision making improves, confidence boosts up, and there is an overall personality molding- thus giving you one more strong reason to take to it with love and vengeance!
