Meditation, deep breathing, and visualisation are finally being recognised as genuine methods to aid in becoming fitter and healthier.
It is becoming clear that such techniques are not simply the preserve of monks in temples but, instead, are readily available for the everyday person who desires better health, higher energy levels, and boosted immunity.
Especially for those of us who follow an exercise regime, learning a couple of basic meditation or deep breathing based exercises can have a huge positive impact upon recovery from training and immunity levels.
Interestingly the University of Wisconsin found the positive emotions after meditation led to beneficial changes in brain activity and antibody responses to flu vaccine.
This is AWESOME! It is showing that all you require for boosted immunity is patience to learn and perform some fundamental meditation techniques.
You don't necessarily need pills and potions.
Often they are over-priced and ineffective anyway.
You just need to learn a few exercises that are more internal than external.
Below you will discover some common-sense points that you can apply NOW in order to benefit from meditation where your exercise regime is concerned.
1.
Rest day relaxation Try to clear your mind and think about your training and experiences.
If this is an area you want to improve (health) then quiet contemplation can be invaluable.
2.
Before you train Take five minutes to compose yourself.
SEE yourself performing to the best of your abilities.
3.
Keep Balanced Yes, you can train each day.
BUT intensity should be staggered.
Plan your rest JUST AS carefully as your actual training.
4.
Discover what works for YOU There are no 'one size fits all' strategies.
Learn a few meditation techniques that you enjoy and feel yourself recovering faster, feeling calmer, and experience your immunity improving! So, after physical training or a long day at work, remember to meditate to medicate! (c) Tim Webb 2006
