Meditation was originally used as a way to connect with ourselves spiritually, but in modern times it has been a way of relaxation and peace.

Working way too much, over thinking, reflecting on problems and others are things that are likely to lead to stress. Some may think that stress is not an entirely big deal. Stress, in fact, leads to sickness. When our bodies are stressed, our brains go into an adrenaline rush kind of state. This results in rapid breathing, increased blood flow and blood pressure, and a higher pulse rate.

With meditation, we can get our bodies relaxed and reduce the risk of sickness caused by stress. Practicing meditation daily can improve our lifestyle and health. It relieves our minds and teaches our bodies how to deal with the problem at hand.

Some other practices regarding meditation focus on the mind itself and not our thoughts. It’s all about emptying it, about teaching our minds to be quiet. Stress draws so much noise in our mind; it causes a ruckus, even.

By shooing away the ruckus and emptying our minds, one gets a sense of needed silence and order. A person easily gets rid of stress quickly and inexpensively, and maybe without even moving a muscle! Just sitting down and clearing our minds could be one way of meditation.
