Meditation is a technique that is used to relax mentally by detaching oneself from everyday thoughts and emotions. This is achieved by sitting quietly and concentrating on one specific thought or process. Essentially, there are two types of meditation, active and passive. Active meditation is related to daily activities like working, eating, walking and the like, whereas passive meditation requires some dedicated time and a quiet place to do so. Active meditation cannot be done successfully without mastering passive meditation. The purpose behind passive meditation is to tame the mind and develop better control over it so as to avoid distracting thoughts and emotions.

The human brain is known to benefit extraordinarily through meditation, which not only helps to relax the body but also sharpens the intellect. It can also help people to get relief from conditions such as insomnia, stress, depression, anxiety, pain, and other emotional problems. As a matter of fact, meditation helps to prevent psychological disorders and thus contributes to the overall wellbeing of an individual. It has now been proved that people who meditate regularly are more active and innovative. Meditation is an inexpensive way of achieving a healthy mental state. Breathing exercises performed along with meditation can double the health benefits of either of them.

There are many ways of meditating and every person can follow whatever suits him or appeals to him. While some people concentrate on their own breathing, others try to focus on some part of the body. Although meditation is largely considered to be a spiritual practice, it offers too many health benefits to be ignored. It is especially good for people suffering from cardiovascular disorders, as it helps to increase the blood circulation of the body in general and slows down the heart rate. Many people have managed to bring their blood pressure levels back to normal by meditating regularly.

Meditation is known to increase the secretion of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is associated with headache, depression, obesity, and insomnia. It has also been found that meditation helps in enhancing immunity by increasing the activity of natural-killer cells. Prominent sports personalities, actors, politicians, business tycoons, and celebrities have been practicing meditation. Thus, while diet and exercise are basically food for the body, meditation is food for your mind and soul.
