According to researchers at Harvard Medical School, long-term practitioners of relaxation methods such as yoga and meditation have more ”disease-fighting genes”, compared to those who practice no form of relaxation. In addition, meditation benefits include stress reduction and physical, mental and emotional well-being improvement. Since meditation also aims at achieving higher vibrational states – it aids us in our spiritual progression. Simply put, one cannot go wrong with meditation.
In a state of deep relaxation, body releases tension, relaxes into a trance state and thoughts seize to exist.
