Meditation is the process of training the mind by following some techniques that are aimed at bringing about changes in the mind so that an individual is able to lead a happy life. It’s all in your mind how you regulate your activities and how you take our social surroundings. The multifarious benefits of meditation can help you lead a happier and more fulfilled life. There are seven ways that meditation helps you.
Emotional balance
Your lives are often driven by emotion, both positive and negative. But once your negative emotions have built up, it is not easy to be dealt with. Emotions pamper your ego and often your traumatised ego hinders you from behaving normally. It enables you to maintain healthy relationships both in your personal and your professional lives.
Increasing immunity
The atmosphere is now tremendously polluted. You can see the effects of pollution everywhere resulting in the spreading of a large number if diseases. Taking medicines helps you to some extent. But prevention is always believed to be better than cure. Meditation is one way that helps in increasing your resistance against tumours, viruses and deadly diseases like cancer. It also helps in fast recovery.
Increases creativity and intuition
Creativity is something that helps you improve your life and if you are in a profession that depends on creativity, you will see amazing results. Creativity crops from your thoughts which provide you with new ways of looking at the same thing. Intuition is also used in creative activities. A sharp intuition also helps you get away from problematic situations thereby keeping your life peaceful.
Reduces pre-menstrual syndrome
Symptoms like a headache or abdominal pain, feeling of sadness, tension, irritation and discomfort are seen during the days just before the menstrual cycle begins. These symptoms are greatly reduced once you start meditating.

Cures infertility
