Stress affects people in different ways. I become quite withdrawn when at these stages and my mind goes into overdrive stressing about many different things.

Other people suffer from panic attacks, become very shaky and nervous, feel sick in the stomach, become sad and can begin to think in a very negative way.

Most of the conditions I have described above are actually a mental and not so much of a physical problem. This is why I believe meditation to be an excellent form of stress relief or stress management.

I am very much aware of the many benefits of meditation and have done my far share of stressing. Stuttering ruined my early life and caused me to lose a lot of my self-confidence. I worked hard to stop stammering and was eventually rewarded with fluency at the age of 21.

Stress and worry also affected my work life within the composite door company where I held quite a senior position. At time I would worry far too much about the trivialities of work.

The main benefits of meditation:

It can lower your heart rate

It relaxes your breathing and can even make it slower

It can lower blood pressure

It can increase your self-esteem by making you think in a more positive way

Helps you to think in a more logical and clear way

Helps you to reduce stress

Some of the forms of meditation:

Walking meditation

Mandala meditation

Yoga meditation

Sitting meditation

Prayer meditation

Visualisation meditation

I personally prefer the sitting meditation. I now like to meditate around 3 or 4 times a day, where possible. Originally I had a lack of belief about what I was doing and about if it would work. I must admit that I really found it hard to fully focus at this point. With practice and realising that I needed this to work for me, I managed to get enough concentration and focus to see the full benefits.

A lot of the people in my circle of friends think that I am a bit mad, including my best friends Dave and Pete who work in the cost reduction experts sector. They can not believe that I actually just sit there and think. Meditation has had such a positive effect on my life and continues to do so, therefore my friends can mock as much as they like. I actually believe that some of them should try it themselves but they always laugh at the suggestion.

Benefits of Meditation Techniques

There’s masses of myths and legends regarding potions for eternal youth but, unfortunately, I doubt any of them are true. For now, there isn’t any quick fix to staying young. Nonetheless, there is still a lot you can do to keep yourself fit and healthy, young at heart and good looking.

There are many ways you can change your diet and lifestyle to to make sure you remain healthy as you age. There’s also a lot that traditional medicine working alongside complementary practices can do to help you hold back the years

Even though more and more people are maintaining their health well into old age, others unfortunately get chronic diseases associated with aging, such as heart problems, diabetes, arthritis, acid reflux or osteoporosis. While acid reflux treatment can be attained with a simple remedy, a lot of the other ailments require further treatment. Most of these chronic illnesses can make you feel like you’re getting old a lot quicker than ‘normal’. All the same, if you’re suffering with a severe health condition, you’re still in the fight. There’s an ever increasing range of complementary health systems available to you (like tantric yoga exercises) that, while they might not cure you, can help to relieve your symptoms, improve your life expectancy, and help you get around easier.

I suspect that most prescribed medicines available today can have side effects so you should look into what these may be, and let your doctor know of any that you have experienced. You should not stop taking presciption medicines without consulting your doctor.

Under Western culture, it’s mainly conventional medicine that has been scrutinized under the most all-around screening and research. Some alternative therapies like the various benefits of meditation techniques may not be predisposed to this method of analysis, and in cases where research has been implemented it has often been of poor quality to be medically conclusive about the therapy’s effectiveness.

Yet still, so many complementary therapies have been employed for literally thousands of years, and are reinforced by the power of tradition and anecdotal evidence to support them, regardless of whether they have been analyzed by medical trials.
