Why do we need to practice being in the now? Right where you are. What benefits can we obtain from meditation?
Neurological research on mindfulness, the practice of being in the present moment, shows many advantages to our health: a stronger immune system, better sleep, and a decrease in stress and cortisol levels in the brain.
Negative cognitions and emotions, such as shame, shut down the brain. On the other hand, meditating on love and kindness physically changes the brain, sculpting and strengthening our neural pathways.
Our brain flourishes on repeated good thoughts. Isn't this amazing?
In today's video I try to remind myself why I need to meditate more, and keep doing yoga periodically, by sharing with you the benefits of being more mindful.
Breathe in... long breath out... you are already good at this!
