Many of us get so caught up with day to day tasks that we do not give ourselves time to breath, whether its your job, going to school, cooking, cleaning, etc. We allow stress to build up and it eventually starts to effect our bodies physically. Many of the health issues that we have may be controlled if we allowed our minds to relax. Meditation is an ancient technique that people have used for centuries. However, with the busy lives that we have today we do not even think of using this technique. We need to reconsider and make time for meditation. Meditation helps lower blood pressure, stress, anxiety, pulse, and slower respiratory rate.
If you have never meditated before here are some links and videos that you can use to help you learn. Meditating is not easy, but like every thing else, practice, and when you least expect it you will be incorporating meditation on a daily basis.
