Meditation is one of the greatest natural stress relievers available. It's easy to use, convenient and once you learn the technique can be used anytime and anywhere.
The fact is that there are a variety of meditation techniques you can use ranging from the more commonly known types of ‘passive’ meditation techniques to the less familiar ‘active’ meditation techniques.
After studying the art of meditation and relaxation for the past 20 years I have come to the conclusion that there is a meditation technique that will work for everyone, despite the fact that many people have given up on learning to meditate because they were unable to sit still or shut their mind off.
The secret is to keep looking for a the meditation technique that works for you. Let’s look at little closer at the two different kinds of meditations I spoke of earlier.
Meditation as a Stress Relief Exercise
Passive meditation techniques are those that require nothing more than for you to sit down, close your eyes and either listen to a recorded visualization or use your mind to focus on something that is supposed to help your mind relax and slow down.
Active meditation techniques are for people who really find it hard to relax and unwind from the day. They work best for people whose minds are very active and who find sitting still for more than a few minutes about as easy as watching grass grow.
Before we talk more about active meditations let's look at some of the reasons why meditation is so good for you.
Natural Stress Relief Through Meditation
Meditation is scientifically proven to lower your heart rate and blood pressure, change brain wave functions and reduce stress and tension in your body. It is a convenient, practical and relaxing way to take time-out from your usual hectic and demanding routines.
The purpose of meditation is to slow down your brainwaves. As this happens your body starts to relax. This is exactly the same process that occurs when you fall asleep. The deeper you sleep, the slower your brainwaves. This is what allows your body to detoxify from the day’s activities wake up feeling refreshed and recharged.
You can also get the same benefit from a 20 minute meditation. Meditation is a natural way to slow down your brainwaves and trick your body into believing it has had a good nights sleep even though it hasn’t. The result of 20 minutes of a deep meditative state is exactly the same as when you wake up in the morning – refreshed and recharged.
