Why you should spend more time in silence
If evening meditation has not yet become your daily ritual, then it’s time to change it!
The fact that meditation is useful for both physical and spiritual state began to speak a long time ago. However, the scientific evidence that meditation helps to eliminate bad thoughts and protect yourself from stress, appeared only in 2006.
And today's edition. "Site" It will tell you exactly how this happens and why.
Evening Meditation There are many different meditation practices. Despite these differences, they have something in common. There is only one rule required for each of them. And the rule is silence.
It is no secret that constant noise causes fatigue and reduces human functionality.
Scientists have long proven that noise causes a significant increase in stress hormones in the human body. And this is due to the physical effect it has on the brain. Noise can affect us even during sleep.
If, for example, a person falls asleep under the on TV or even under the soothing “Moonlight Sonata” of Beethoven, sound waves cause the body to react. They trigger the activation of the part of the brain associated with memory and emotions. This in turn leads to the release of stress hormones.
At the same time, silence relieves stress and tension. Evidence of this fact was the results of studies by Luciano Bernardi, conducted in 2006.
The subjects had to sit for several hours in complete silence, which was periodically replaced by noise or music. As a result, it was found that only minutes spent in complete silence had a relaxing effect on the brains of the participants and allowed them to feel at their best.
This is why meditation in complete silence is so useful. In the morning, it can be adjusted to a productive way. And in the evening - relax and relieve fatigue after a hard day's work.
It is not for nothing that the ancient spiritual masters said that silence heals, silence immerses us deeply in ourselves, and silence balances body and mind. Now their words have found scientific confirmation.
