Physical Benefits
- Stimulates your parasympathetic nervous system, or the branch of your peripheral nervous system that helps your body return to a calm, relaxed state after the perceived threat of danger, or even daily stress, has passed. When this branch is activated, your body can naturally rejuvenate, repair, and rebuild itself.
- Clears your mind for better quality sleep.
- Improves athletic performance by refining your ability to focus on a goal or situation (another term for meditation used in this way is visualization).
- Slows your respiration for longer, deeper breaths.
- Boosts your immune system by slowing the production of the stress hormone cortisol.
