Meditation?



    Now I personally am a true believer in the benefits meditation can hold for our being, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and even more, if done reguraly and properly. Meditation has been found to,
help lower stress which is linked to heart disease and stroke,
it lowers blood pressure.
Fights against depression.
Helps in focusing allowing better memory as well as eye hand coordination.
Helps strengthen the brain in many ways.
Iv read it can help improve sex life.
Boosts immune system.
Helps fight and prevent asthma.
Fights epilepsy.
The list goes on and on due to the larger hippocampal and the volumes of gray matter meditation brings helping Things that are linked to even more problems that effects a beings health.
    Iv done some meditation myself  and allot of reading, and what I tend to find in both personal experience as well as in my research is that time can be a huge factor.  It seems to always be hard to find time specially when the best time for meditation is in the morning before your day truly starts getting you ready for what ever the day has in store. For most that's precious time for getting ready for work, or maybe they have children, or there are many other factors.
    I found this amazing free meditation program that has been made into an app for phones or ipads, its for those who do not have time in the morning for meditation. It'd called Headspace and starts you out with a very easy 10 step program starting at 10 minutes which is perfect for those short on time. It also has a super relaxing voice narrating and helping you along if you are new to meditation, and after there are even other programs the app offers but I done believe they  are free like the 10 step program.
