In the past 50 years or more, a lot of research has been done to study meditation. This extensive study also reveals many of the psychological benefits of meditation, and most loyal meditators can prove these benefits. Although it may be a new field of exploration in Western science, the connection between body and mind is no stranger to spiritual science.

People pay a lot of attention to the physiological benefits of meditation, and they are many. All the physiological benefits of meditation naturally have a corresponding benefit at the psychological level.

The decrease in stress at the physiological level brought about by meditation reduces the anxiety at the psychological level. A systematic review of nearly 150 studies showed that practicing meditation was significantly more effective in reducing anxiety than other techniques. Sometimes anxiety becomes paralyzed and overwhelming in the form of a panic attack. Panic attacks are usually treated with drugs, but research by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, associate professor of medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and director of the decompression clinic at the Medical Center, shows that if a panic attack is acceptable, once they feel the first sign of the attack They began to concentrate and meditate on breathing, and their chances of breaking out were greatly reduced.

Meditation has also been proven to reduce depression, attacks and unstable emotions. Psychologists believe that this shows a more stable, balanced and resilient personality growth. Another review analyzed statistics from more than 40 independent studies and found that meditation can effectively improve self-fulfillment [a broad assessment of positive mental health and self-development]. More research shows that meditation is very effective in advancing the three independent characteristics of self-realization, namely self-realization, emotional maturity, strong and flexible self-awareness, and positive and cohesive views on oneself and the world.

Helpless, hopeless and isolated feelings are signs of depression, the most common mental health problem in the United States. People find that meditation increases self-confidence and the feeling of connecting with others. Numerous studies have shown that people who experience depression experience a lot after experiencing a “relaxation response” to meditation. Practical meditation also proves that the recurrence rate can be reduced by 50%. Brain scan studies have shown that meditation can shift the activity of the prefrontal cortex [behind the forehead] from the right hemisphere to the left hemisphere. People with negative personalities tend to be positive foreheads, while those with left foreheads have more enthusiasm, interest, more relaxation, and often happier.

Studies of meditation have shown significant improvements in mental health, memory, attention and productivity. Using a button that requires speed and concentration to press the task to test a beginner's meditator's research shows that 40 minutes of meditation performs better than a 40 minute nap.

The meditator noticed more, but responded more calmly to emotional arousal than non-meditation. Those who are addicted to smoking, alcohol and alcohol addiction, if they receive standard treatment, their addiction will significantly reduce the recurrence rate.

Middle school students practicing meditation showed improved work habits, attendance and GPA [average grade points].

The brain scan of the meditator shows an increase in the thickness of the cortical area, which is associated with higher functions such as memory and decision making.

Meditation seems to slow down aging. People who have been contemplating for five or more years are 12 years younger than their actual age. Obviously, this has physical and mental benefits.

Overall meditation can help most people reduce anxiety and control. The consciousness brought by meditation can also be a source of personal insight and self-understanding.

The findings will continue to highlight the specific benefits of meditation, which will only help to increase acceptance of meditation throughout the culture. This type of study provides a detailed analysis of the subtle chemical changes in the brain and body produced by meditation. It can also measure psychological improvement, however, all data from the science of reduction science does not really help us understand meditation.

The first thing that leads to these benefits is not the practice of meditation itself, but the desire and commitment to achieve meditation. Wanting to meditate and be willing to do so shows a desire to improve self-awareness and well-being. In any case, willing to spend time with yourself. For many people, this is a huge improvement in itself. Modern culture is completely self-distracted through endless images and information. The focus is completely external and stimulates the permanence of desire.

Regardless of the state of life, each of us suffers from the pain and fear of the past. For most of us, most of the time, these feelings, emotions and their beliefs in response will affect us in the subconscious. Meditation creates opportunities for our attention to turn inward and make these things conscious. Without such a conscious understanding of inner fear, pain and limiting beliefs, the habitual tendency is to project them outward to others and the world. Through the practice of meditation, when these things are revealed inside us, we can expand our self-awareness, the depth of self-responsibility, and generate more and more sympathy for others.
