Hi all,
We have been practicing dharma through meditation every
week. So why meditate?
According to University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), showed people who
meditate have bigger brains (known as neuroplasticity) and stronger connections
between different parts of the brain.
Not
only that, meditation evokes the ’relaxation response’, lowering heart rate and
boosting the immune system. This eases heart disease, cholesterol and high
blood pressure. Also, meditation reduces the length of time to sleep for people
suffering from insomnia, according to research by Stanford Medical Centre.
In
summary, meditation showed measurable improvements in our body, such health
benefits,
ability to solve complex problems and enhances will-power. These are certainly
useful to students as many of us often face difficulties in studying.
Lastly,
meditation is completely FREE! It requires no equipment and is easy. It can be
practiced anywhere, anytime, and isn’t time consuming (15-20 min. per day is
good). With such a huge list of benefits, the question you should ask yourself
is, “Why am I not meditating yet?”
So
stop procrastinating and take action now!
