Meditation is excellent method to maintain our physical and emotional health and well-beingThe Challenge: Stress, work and life challenges can get the best of us.The Science: Research shows that meditation is linked to a host of benefits from happiness to health!The Solution: Meditate to feel calmer, happier, healthier, more productive and more in charge.Trying to find a New Year's Resolution that's really worth it? How about one that will boost your resilience?This coming New Year will hopefully be full of wonderful surprises, but undoubtedly - like every year - will also throw some challenges at us. I started meditating soon after 9/11. I was living in Manhattan, an already chaotic place, at an extremely chaotic time. I realized I had no control over my external environment. And I realized this would always be the case. No matter what we do, we never have full control over our jobs, partners, health, or environment.However, there is one place we can have a say over: the state of our mind. As a friend once said to me "When my mind is ok, then everything is ok." This statement is so simple yet also so profound. When I started meditating, I realized I was clamer despite any situations I encountered. What I didn't realize, was that it would also make me healthier, happier, and more successful. Having witnessed the benefits, I devoted my PhD research at Stanford to studying the impact of meditation. I saw people from diverse backgrounds from college students to combat veterans benefit. In the last 10 years, hundreds of studies have been released.Here are 20 scientifically-validated reasons you might want to get on the bandwagon come Jan 1 (if not today!)During meditation we process the deep tracks of our unconscious mind that will lead into better self-understandingIt Boosts Your HEALTH1 - Increases immune function (See here and here)2 - Decreases Pain (see here)3 - Decreases Inflammation at the Cellular Level (See here and here and here)It Boosts Your HAPPINESS4 - Increases Positive Emotion (here and here)5 - Decreases Depression (see here)6 - Decreases Anxiety (see here and here and here)7 - Decreases Stress (see here and here)It Boosts Your SOCIAL LIFEThink meditation is a solitary activity?

Schooler)It Makes You WISE(R)It gives you perspective: By observing your mind, you realize you don't have to be slave to it. You realize it throws tantrums, gets grumpy, jealous, happy and sad but that it doesn't have to run you. Meditation is quite simply mental hygiene: clear out the junk, tune your talents, and get in touch with yourself. Think about it, you shower every day and clean your body, but have you ever showered your mind? As a consequence, you'll feel more clear and see thing with greater perspective. "The quality of our life depends on the quality of our mind," writes Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. We can't control what happens on the outside but we do have a say over the quality of our mind. No matter what's going on, if your mind is ok, everything is ok. Right now.It Keeps You REALOnce you get to know your mind, you start to own your stuff and become more authentic, maybe even humble. You realize the stories and soap operas your mind puts you through and you gain some perspective on them. You realize most of us are caught up in a mind-drama and become more compassionate towards others.And...the more you meditate, the more you seem to benefit, research studies such as this one suggest.Working our own psychological traumas through meditation will increase our compassion towards othersRead More @ http://www.sott.net/article/290874-Meditate-to-become-a-healthier-happier-and-more-compassionate-human-being
