In this video I will share some of the scientifically proven benefits of meditations.

Meditation used to be the sole reserve of Tibetan monks and master yogis but now it is well and truly part of popular culture with videos on YouTube, apps and countless books and online articles. Buy why is it suddenly, after hundreds of years, so popular. Basically, science has stepped in and proven it’s worth. Here’s an outline of the benefits that have been found, I will go into more detail in the video:

1. Physical Health Benefits
Meditation has been shown to improve immune function, reduce pain and reduce cellular inflammation which has been link to Cancer, Heart Disease, Alzheimers and Diabetes.

2. Mental Health Benefits
Meditation has been shown to increase positive emotions, reduce depression, anxiety and stress, help us to control out emotions better, increase our feelings of connection and compassion with others and reduce feelings of loneliness.

3. Supercharging Our Capacity to Succeed
Meditation has been shown to enhance focus and attention, improve the ability to multi-task, improve memory and creativity.
