From Collective Evolution
Numerous studies have shown the many physiological benefits of meditation, and the latest comes from Harvard University. An eight-week study conducted by researchers at Harvard in Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) found that meditation literally reconstructs the brain gray matter in just eight weeks. It is the first study to document that meditation produces changes over time in the gray matter of the brain.
"Although the practice of meditation is associated with a sense of calmness and physical relaxation, doctors have long claimed that meditation also provides cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout the day. This study demonstrates that changes in brain structure may underlie some of these improvements reported and that people feel better not only because they are spending time relaxing. "Sara Lazar Research Program Neuroimaging psychiatric MGH and an instructor at the School of Medicine Harvard Psychology
The study involved taking magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brains of 16 study participants two weeks before participating in the study. MRI scans of the participants also were taken after the study was completed. "The analysis of MR images, which focused on the areas where differences of meditation-associated in previous studies found increased density of gray matter in the hippocampus, known to be important for learning and memory were observed , and structures associated with self-awareness, compassion and introspection. " For the study, participants involved in meditation practices every day for about 30 minutes. These practices include focusing on audio recordings of guided meditation, nonjudgmental awareness of sensations, feelings and mood.
"It's fascinating brain plasticity and that, by practicing meditation, we can play an active role in changing the brain and can increase our well-being and quality of life. Other studies in different patient populations have shown that meditation can make significant improvements in a variety of symptoms, and we are now investigating the underlying mechanisms in the brain that facilitate this change.

How to Meditate
1. A common misconception about meditation is that you have to sit a certain way or do something in particular to achieve the many benefits it can provide. All you have to do is put in a position that is most comfortable for you. You could be sitting with legs crossed, lying on a bed, sitting on a sofa, etc, it's your choice.

2. Another common misconception about meditation is that you have to "try" to empty your mind. An important factor that I enjoyed reading the above study is that participants were engaged in "nonjudgmental awareness of sensations, feelings and mood." To meditate, you should not try to "empty" their minds. Instead, try to let your thoughts, feelings and emotions, whatever they are feeling in the flow of time. Do not judge them, just let them come and go and be at peace with him.
I also believe that meditation is a state of being / mind more than anything else. Sorry you do not have to sit for half an hour and "meditate" so to speak, in order to reap the benefits of it, or that is dedicated to the practice itself. One can be devoted to meditation while on a walk, for example, or when they are entitled before bedtime. Throughout the day, you can stand to judge your thoughts, let them flow until no longer exist, or just be in a constant state of peace and self-awareness. Contrary to popular belief, it is simply a way to meditate.
"You have to understand one of the most fundamental things about meditation.. That no technique leads to meditation techniques called Old and new scientific biofeedback techniques are the same as what refers meditation Meditation is not a technical product of meditation happens beyond mind No technique can go beyond the mind "-...

Deep breathing meditation to relieve stress. Deep breathing relaxation technique is a simple but very powerful. It is easy to learn, you can go almost anywhere and provides a quick way to control stress. In addition, it can be combined with aromatherapy, gem therapy or music.

The key to deep breathing is to breathe deeply from the abdomen and take all the fresh air you can to enter your lungs. By breathing deeply from the abdomen, as opposed to short breaths, it allows you to inhale more oxygen; and the more oxygen you get, the less stress, anxiety and shortness of breath feel. Here are some tips to practice deep breathing:
1) Sit comfortably with your back straight.
2) Put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach.
