Effects of Meditation

Meditation has many positive effects on health, reduces stress, provides deep rest, calmness, peace of mind, joy, vibrant health, greater energy and positive relationships. Twenty minutes of deep meditation are equivalent to three hours of sleep. During meditation, one is in the space of vastness, calmness, and love and this state of mind gets transferred to the people around. A publication in the British Medical Journal shows the state of mind is contagious to other people around. Bringing harmony within oneself influences your family members and even your neighbors. A person who meditates tend to have a more peaceful state of mind that, in turn, would affect other people around. The change for world peace first starts with oneself.
