What is mindfulness meditation?

Engaging in mindfulness meditation is an ancient practice that goes beyond positively affecting your physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral well-being.

As a holistic form of alternative medicine, this practice empowers you to heighten awareness in the present moment through your senses. Constant stimulation in today’s fast-paced environment can hinder your focus. Mindfulness meditation is a valuable tool to navigate this constant stimulation and break free from unhealthy habits. 

It includes two main features:

Attention

The attention aspect encourages you to focus on the present moment, reclaiming your ability to shift focus amid life’s distractions.

Acceptance

Acceptance allows you to recognize these feelings without judgment or resistance, fostering a compassionate understanding of your inner experiences.

How does mindfulness meditation relieve stress?

Mindfulness meditation can help relieve stress in several ways, including:

Stress awareness

Mindfulness encourages you to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment, helping you identify stress triggers and thought patterns contributing to stress.

Reduced cortisol levels

Mindfulness can help lower cortisol (a hormone that helps regulate stress), changing your body’s stress response.

Relaxation promotion

Mindfulness activates your body’s relaxation response, leading to decreased heart rate, lowered blood pressure, and relaxation of muscles.

Enhanced emotional regulation

By fostering a nonreactive awareness of emotions, mindfulness helps you respond to stressors with greater resilience and reduced emotional reactivity.

Improved sleep

Mindfulness practices promote relaxation conducive to better sleep, contributing to stress management.
