Episode 69 – Learn The Secret To Better Spiritual Health
Understanding oneself is the secret to better spiritual health, and learning to meditate is one such way to take a pause and connect with yourself.
Welcome to Satori Radio, the place to be to lead a healthy and soulful life. In episode 69, I want to discuss one of my favourite topics: meditation and how it is the greatest secret to improving spiritual health. Understanding oneself and taking a pause is often the #1 secret to better spiritual health. You can advance your personal and professional growth by becoming more aware of yourself.
Meditation can be a great way to find your inner voice and enhance your spiritual growth. It can be a powerful self-discovery tool, allowing you to access your deepest thoughts and feelings. Regular meditation practice can lead to increased self-awareness and insight, allowing you to gain a better understanding of who you are. Meditation can also assist you in uncovering previously undiscovered ideas and perspectives. You can gain greater clarity and insight into your subconscious mind by learning to observe your thoughts without judgment or attachment. Meditation can also help you cultivate an attitude of acceptance and understanding of yourself.
Meditation Is Backed Up By Science
The secret to better spiritual health is indeed backed by science! Scientific research has supported the effectiveness of mantra meditation as a powerful technique for achieving mental and physical harmony. It has been shown to improve overall mental and physical health, reduce stress and improve mood, and increase the quality of life. When practicing mantra meditation, one focuses on a single word, phrase, or sound and repeats it aloud to themselves. This practice helps to redirect your thoughts and calm your mind, resulting in a greater sense of peace and balance. Additionally, studies have shown that mantra meditation may be beneficial for treating conditions like hypertension, anxiety, depression, and pain.
Meditation is proven to:
1. Reduce anxiety and depression
Regular practice of meditation can help the brain better manage stress and anxiety, which can trigger depression. Additionally, meditation can help to reduce symptoms associated with certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, chronic pain, and insomnia.
2. Reduce stress hormones
Meditation has been shown to lower stress hormones like cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that contributes to many of the negative effects of stress, including sleep disruption, depression, anxiety, and high blood pressure. Studies have shown to reduce the body’s stress response, resulting in less inflammation and lower cortisol levels.
3. Lower blood pressure
Research has shown that meditating can lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This is because meditation reduces stress hormones like cortisol by 30%, while also increasing relaxation. Meditation can also raise nitric oxide levels, which is a molecule that helps to relax and widen blood vessels while also keeping blood pressure under control. All this combined over months and years can have a great benefit on your body, mind and spirit and support your overall spiritual health.
4. Improve digestion
Meditation can help to reduce stress hormones like cortisol and activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS). The PSNS is in charge of triggering the body’s rest and digestion response, which is essential for proper digestion. Meditation on a regular basis can also help to improve overall digestion and reduce the risk of digestive disorders such as cramps, bloating, and gas.
5. Calm the mind
Meditation, when practiced on a regular basis, can help to reduce racing thoughts and improve mental clarity. Meditation can also help to cultivate inner peace and reduce restlessness and distraction. Over time you will notice improved focus and concentration, which will boost productivity and reduce stress. If you learn to practice mantra meditation through our monthly group program, you’ll receive the benefits of a calmer mind within 10-15 minutes!
6. Improve sleep patterns
Meditation can help to relax the body, which can reduce sleep disruptions and improve sleep quality. Regular meditation can also help to improve sleep-related conditions like insomnia and improve one’s ability to fall asleep faster. Meditation can also help to reduce the risk of sleep disorders like sleep apnea and narcolepsy.
7. Align you with your true purpose in life
Meditation has been shown to help you reconnect with your true life purpose and potential, and gain a better understanding of yourself and your beliefs. Meditation can help you develop an inner sense of peace and acceptance, which can help you stay focused on your true path. Regular meditation can also help you gain self-awareness and find clarity and direction in your life. See Episode 51 on How To Create A Life Plan In 5 Easy Steps here.
8. Boost your productivity
Meditation can help to improve overall productivity by increasing focus and concentration. Regular meditation can also help to cultivate an inner sense of peace, which can reduce restlessness and distraction. Over time you will improve your decision-making and critical-thinking skills, which will lead to increased productivity.
