Healthy, Wealthy and Wise
Vedic Meditation is the best time investment you can make. If you believe that health is wealth, then Vedic Meditation twice a day for twenty minutes will make you a rich person.
Vedic Meditation significantly improves overall health. The stress release and deep rest achieved during Vedic Meditation, activates the body’s own healing responses.
This release of stress during just twenty minutes of Vedic Meditation causes our muscles to relax, including the muscular walls of our blood vessels. This allows more blood through the vessels with less resistance to the overall flow. This of cause means lower blood pressure.
Therefore the combination of Vedic Meditation, for twenty minutes twice a day, with a good diet – especially a low fat, low salt diet – and physical exercise, should see a dramatic reduction in high blood pressure.
Increased Circulation Benefits all Organs and Glands
The regular practice of Vedic Meditation also stimulates our glands to produce hormones. Additionally, it increases blood flow;
- An increase of blood flow to the brain means we feel fresher and can think more clearly.
- An increase of blood flow to the digestive system means we will digest and assimilate food better.
