Many people start to meditate only for one common reason is stress, if they are out of control, leads to depression, anxiety, as well a negative impact on mental health.
Note: Meditation doesn’t cure depression, but it can help you with it.
Normally, mental and physical illness causes an increased level of a stress hormone called cortisol.
When we are stressed out, our body produces cortisol (cortisol is inversely proportional to testosterone) – means that the higher the level of cortisol in the body the lower will be the T level.
And many more studies have shown that meditation improves our mind waves which deal with stress, anxiety, and blood pressure.
In addition, research has shown that people who meditate have a lower rate of stress-related conditions such as depression, extreme anxiety, etc.
2. Improve Sleep Quality
Healthy sleep is a perfect way to calm down your anger, feeling, thoughts, and many more thing which is essential for our overall body.
Even then many people continue to struggle with stress due to lack of sleep.
Notice: Meditation helps bring down the heart rate by lighting the parasympathetic nervous system and empowering slow breathing.
In this way mediation expands the possibility of a quality night sleep.
It may help to reduce the risk of developing some chronic illness, keep your brain healthy, and also boost the Immune system.

It’s clear that meditation improves concentration and helps one to be in the present moment.
Regular meditation increase blood flow to the brain, which leads to a strong bond of blood vessels in the “cerebral cortex” which is responsible for – sensation, perception, memory, thought, and voluntary physical activity.
For kids, daily 15 to 20 min meditation improves their focus, discipline, sharp memory, etc.
Meditation has been scientifically approved to increase focus and memory.

Anger is a completely normal human nature someone has more, someone less but when it gets out of the gun which turns into destructive, it can lead to problems. which is not known at that time but comes to know later.
Simple steps to control your anger with meditation – choose a silent and low destructive area, sit on a mat with dhyaan mudra, now close your eyes and focus on your breathing, nothing else.
Do it daily for 15 to 20 minutes, the recent study found that just one session of meditation reduces the physical signs of anger, even in people who are new to meditation.

The low gut feeling is highly responsible for fear in people, I faced it too, for example, if someone faces fear at night, scared of small matter, they may have low gut stamina.
