What are the benefits of meditation?

Meditation can improve one's wisdom

Meditation is the best way to cultivate happiness and wisdom. Through the step-by-step practice of meditation, one can improve work efficiency, increase wisdom, make one's body and mind strong, and have a correct understanding of life and the universe.

meditation can greatly improve the quality of life through "human nuclear fusion". We consume energy every day, and one of the worries of modern people is lack of energy. Why? Because you can't make ends meet. Some people talk about suffering, but they just refuse to sit still and miss the opportunity to sublimate their lives in vain.

If you want to be blessed and wise, you will practice meditation seriously, and your wisdom will flourish over time.

If you learn to meditate, you will feel happier day by day, which will be enough to increase your resistance to diseases, and eventually you will be able to surrender the disease and turn it from weak to strong. Meditation makes the brain think still, which is another kind of best rest. If you can practice meditation every day, you can know yourself better and be more confident.

Finding the true value of your life will be incredibly helpful to your life. In other words, meditation is to make friends with your inner self, so that you can finally move towards perfection. Gradually, when you have a better grasp of the inner world, your life has been unfolding in a subtle way, gradually blooming bright.

meditation is not a religious act, but a science of mind with a history of more than thousands of years. For beginners, it lasts for 1 days. If we can sit quietly regularly and quantitatively every day, there is no reason why there is no gain. People don't let themselves be bound by external limited things, but they can explore their inner infinite treasures through meditation, so that their hearts can expand and contain everything.

Confucianism has said, "Zhi Zhi will decide later, and then he can be quiet; after being quiet, he can be safe, and after being safe, he can think about it." After thinking, he can get it. Buddhism has said, "It is determined by abstinence, and it is determined by wisdom." Studies show that meditation can not only lower blood pressure, but also strengthen the immune system. Sixty percent of Americans see doctors because of symptoms caused by stress. This kind of research is not surprising, and it is not surprising that meditation can sometimes replace the effect of "strength but strength".

Since the practicality of meditation is supported by science and promoted by celebrities such as Hillary Clinton (influenced by her, the Goyle couple became "believers"), it is no wonder that the times say that 1 million American adults meditate "often"-twice as much as ten years ago, and meditation has become the mainstream fashion in American society.

When meditation reaches a quiet state, not only can you feel those extremely comfortable psychological effects subjectively, but also many objective changes will occur in your body, resulting in good physiological effects. These objective changes are manifested in various systems of the whole body.

The research on this aspect began in the 195s. A large number of studies have confirmed the physiological effect of quietness. Here is a brief introduction:

Nervous system

When people enter the quietness state, the EEG changes significantly, which is completely different from the quiet state of sleep; The enhancement and diffusion of cerebral cortex initiative inhibition can further change sensory perception.

The autonomic nervous system that regulates visceral activities has changed, which shows that the excitability of sympathetic nerve is reduced, the excitability of parasympathetic nerve is increased, and the visceral function controlled by it has changed, such as the secretion of lacrimal gland is increased, and the sparse saliva in oral cavity is increased.

circulatory system

In the static state, you can see that the heart rate slows down, the blood pressure decreases, and the microcirculation of the whole body improves; There are beneficial changes in the systolic time interval, and the amplitude of ECG T wave increases. Experiments have proved that meditation can regulate cerebral blood flow in two directions, that is, the increase of cerebral blood flow deficiency, the decrease of high blood flow and the return to normal range.

The synchronous quantitative observation of multi-channel blood flow (including stroke output, cerebral blood flow, upper limb and lower limb blood flow) in different parts of intentional defense in static state shows that intentional defense can directly affect blood circulation and complete the redistribution of blood flow.

When the respiratory system

is in a static state, breathing gradually becomes soft, slow, even and deep, and the breathing frequency slows down; With the increase of vital capacity, the renewal rate of oxygen, capillary permeability and gas exchange rate increase.

After the digestive system

goes into quiescence, gastrointestinal activity, gastric electricity, digestion and absorption ability are enhanced, bowel sounds and exhaust gas are increased; Bile secretion activity is enhanced.

Endocrine system

The effects on the endocrine system in static state are various. It can change the plasma nucleotide level, and the ratio of CAMP/CGMP tends to be normal, which provides a basis for the "secret yin and yang" effect of meditation. It can correct the abnormality of sex hormones and provide evidence for the effects of meditation on "cultivating refined qi" and "cultivating the root and tonifying the kidney"

Immune system

After quieting, eosinophils increased, phagocytosis of leukocytes increased, SIGA and lysozyme in saliva increased obviously, and the cellular immunity and humoral immunity of the body were enhanced, indicating that meditation exercise can improve the disease-resistant immunity of human body.

In addition, it was found that the basal metabolic rate of human body decreased and the oxygen consumption decreased in the static state.

in short, in the static state, the indicators of each system have changed accordingly. In the process of exercise from the beginning to the quietness, it starts to change from psychological adjustment. In a good psychological state, the function of nervous system develops in the direction of synchronization and coordination, and further acts on the whole body through nerve and neuroendocrine channels, causing the functional activities of all systems in the whole body to develop in the direction of health and coordination.
