Progressive muscular relaxation, when practised daily, reduces the risk of disease recurrence. In another study, relaxation exercises boosted natural killer cells, giving them a greater resistance to tumours and viruses. 2. Emotional Balance Emotional balance means being free of neurotic thinking patterns, behaviors and defense mechanisms, as well as anxiety, drama, depression, confusion, and pessimism. This is challenging to achieve fully, but meditation certainly is the way to gain control over your triggered emotional states. As you gain control over your moment to moment choices, your responses are no longer colored by past experiences, but are instead true and appropriate responses to the present moment. You are empowered and free to put your life back on track to achieve your highest desires. 3. Lowers Blood Pressure A study at Harvard Medical School found that meditation lowered blood pressure by making the body less responsive to stress hormones, in a similar way to blood pressure-lowering medication. Meanwhile a British Medical Journal report found that patients trained how to relax had significantly lower blood pressure. 4. Anti-Inflammatory Stress leads to inflammation, a state linked to the cause of nearly every disease and autoimmune disease. Relaxation can help prevent and treat such symptoms by switching off the stress response. 5. Calmness The simple difference between those who meditate and those who do not, is that for a meditative mind the thought occurs but is witnessed, while for an ordinary mind, the thought occurs and is the boss. So in both minds, an upsetting thought can occur, but for those who meditate it is just another thought, which is seen as such and is allowed to blossom and die, while in the ordinary mind the thought instigates a storm which rages on and on.
