Everyone is in a chase, running constantly pulling and pushing life, where one's schedules are going haywire, demands are much more than one can deliver, and each day we are trying to juggle as well as balance life which results in stress. Meditation is the answer to all.
The whole idea is to slow down, stop, pause, and reorient! Take life from DIS-ORDER TO ORDER, DIS-EASE TO EASE, and DIS-COMFORT TO COMFORT.
Meditation is a principle of coming together of forces, to get harmonized. The conflicting forces should get equalized. They should come into equilibrium. They should get harmonized. This makes humans evolve. This is not just physical and muscular, Not just biological or physiological. It is also mental and spiritual. When mental harmony comes out of harmonizing your both brains, left and right, spiritual buoyancy, spiritual intuitiveness, spiritual foresights, insights, and spiritual happiness, joy, bliss is born.
That is the creative space. Today scientists are calling it the quantum space, the empty space, the emptiness from which births wellness. This is a space from where human beings can become divine. The inner potential has to be unlocked
Through Meditation one connects the source of energy to the source of the universal energy.
Mechanisms of the Effect of Meditation on Cellular Repair
- Meditation can improve circadian rhythms, which can help promote telomere maintenance.
- Cell damage and aging are caused by oxidative stress, which is reduced by meditation.
- Through upregulating the expression of repair genes, meditation facilitates DNA repair.
- Gene expression and cellular activity are impacted by meditation's effects on epigenetic markers.
- Meditation reduces inflammation, which in turn destroys cells.
The hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is modulated by meditation. This modulation can lower cortisol levels and support telomere maintenance. Additionally, a number of studies have shown that meditation intervention is linked to either no change without shortening or a little increase in telomere length.
Furthermore, numerous telomere-related genes can be affected by meditation, with meditation training particularly having a greater favorable impact on telomere regulation. The expression of Gar1 and hnRNP A1 (the gene encoding a protein that binds to telomerase RNA and DNA) increases along with the telomere length. In conclusion, practicing meditation can enhance telomere control, which in turn affects ageing and overall health.
Meditation's Effect on Cellular Processes
Autophagy: Meditation encourages the removal of damaged cellular components through autophagy.
Mitochondrial function: Meditation enhances the production of energy by improving mitochondrial activity.
Cellular senescence: By postponing cellular senescence, meditation mitigates the negative effects of aging.
One doesn’t need anything, just start with shutting your eyes, this saves energy immediately, as 70-80% of physical expenditure of energy goes through eyes holding the ocular muscles wide open, so shut your eyes.
And conserve the energy, there is a sudden shift of awareness with breathing falling into rhythm. From staggered it becomes regulated, from scattered it gets into a flow. Rhythm flow once established your mind calms down into a state of equanimity.
When the brain functions begin to align, the racing mind becomes slow; this is the time when the stress is released. Complexities give way to clarity. One gets ways to vision and confidence.
