Benefits of Meditation

  1. "Meditation, as a regular practice, can calm your system, help your heart, and hold off all manner of annoyances." Prevention Magazine

    Regular meditation can help your brain.  The stillness of meditation increases compassion and engages neural systems in the brain associated with empathy.  Blood pressure can be lowered by regular meditation.  Psoriasis can be improved by meditation, because stress often shows up in skin eruptions.  Cortisol is associated with belly fat, and meditation can lower this stress hormone.  Meditation has been shown to ease joint pain.  

    Meditation is one practice which helps us to handle the stress of caregiving.  Caregivers may think they do not have time for meditation or yoga or regular exercise; but, really, can we afford not to make time?
