Why Meditation Is The Biggest Thing In Wellness Right Now

preview

The practice of meditation has been rooted as a wellness trend. Meditation has slowly taken on the world of fitness because of a variety of reasons. While gymming allows special attention to the body core and muscles, it does not impact our mental well-being at all.&nbsp;The loud music at the gym allows little to no satisfaction for the mind or even a conscious return to our breathing process during exercise. Therefore, people around the globe have started to resort to meditation wherein meditation is not just seen as an exotic practice anymore but more of a complete mindful revolution.&nbsp;Meditation is basically categorized into three types. Let’s learn what each category brings to the table and understand what it does to the mind.&nbsp;Focused Attention Meditation And Its Impact&nbsp;Vipassana is a Buddhist meditation practice that is specifically catered to build focused attention. Even as fleeting as an ordinary thought is considered to be a disruption of concentration. It is a practice that is emulated to perfection to bring full attention to our breathing patterns, sensations, and focus on our higher awareness.&nbsp;Honing such an amazing practice helps in faster learning capacities, the cognitive function of the brain. Such training through the practice of focused attention meditation will help reduce anxiety and issues related to ADHD since the mind is trained to cut away from all distractions and focus on yourself completely.&nbsp;UnsplashUnlike focused attention meditation wherein you are supposed to inhibit the mere incoming of thought, open-monitoring meditation allows a thorough understanding of thought. The training induces you to create an objective lens or faculty to see a thought-through or be present in the moment. The phenomenon is most commonly known as mindfulness.&nbsp;Such a dispassionate association with a thought allows a better understanding of the content present. This is undoubtedly the most common practice of meditation followed in the West. Studies have shown that the size of our amygdala, the site of the brain responsible for anxiety, and processing of other emotions, reduces.&nbsp;Another consequence of such practice is the enlargement of the prefrontal cortex which is the powerhouse of all decision-making processes, consciousness, and concentration. Whatever the conditional situations are, the mind is not easily flustered and the person is able to control his/her emotions.&nbsp;UnsplashSelf-transcending meditation is unlike focused attention meditation or open-monitoring meditation. Why? Because while focused attention meditation or open-monitoring meditation has to do with the idea of thought, transcending meditation can be understood as a retreat or escape into the sea of silence that resides inside us from the active or fleeting existence of the mind’s surface.&nbsp;Reports show that people who have been practicing transcending meditation for two months or so have a mind that is in a relaxed alertness state. What such a state induces is a more relaxed flow of thoughts. This has particularly important results when it comes to acute issues of high blood pressure. Research has also shown reduced imagination rates. However, this aspect requires more research to fully credit such given claims.&nbsp;UnsplashMeditation has opened up realms of the mind that we did not previously did not engage with. The experiential of such defined attributes of the mind has to be explored with constant persistence and practice. It is easy to give up since we are dealing with fine lines. However, with constant effort, get ready to be thoroughly amazed at what our minds are actually capable of doing!&nbsp;Unsplash
