Using A Mindspa Meditation Machine Can Help You Lose Weight
Most of us are aware that meditation brings many benefits
. And that applies to meditating with traditional methods or using up to date techniques such as a MindSpa Mind Machine. But we wouldn't necessarily realise that the sedate activity of meditation or deep relaxation could help with weight loss.
When we think of things that will help us with weight loss, we would normally think of changing our diet (so that we don't consume so many calories) or performing physical exercise (so that we burn off surplus calories).
And of course it's true that if we eat less and exercise more, we will lose weight. But the important thing to remember is that without the right mental conditioning, our attempts to lose weight will like be doomed to failure.
Meditation can help you to achieve the right mental state that is essential for successful and sustained weight loss. It can do this in a number of ways.
First, meditation can help you to build the discipline that is necessary for you to carry out your exercise programme and stick to your healthy diet. Meditation is like doing mental exercise. And in the same way as when you do physical exercise you become physically stronger, spending time in meditation each day, or even three or four times a week, will help you to become mentally stronger.
It's very east to come up with reasons why you shouldn't go for a swim or a walk around the park, but when you meditate, you'll find that you are motivated to do your exercise. Similarly, meditation will give you the mental fortitude to enable you to say 'no' to cakes and sweets.
Secondly, meditation leads to an improvement in both physical and psychological health. For example, meditation can help to boost the immune system and lower blood pressure. Psychologically, meditation can help improve confidence and self-esteem. And as your body starts to align itself with better health, you'll naturally endeavour to eat healthy foods and will want to take part in activities that enhance your fitness.
Finally, meditation combined with visualisation will enable your subconscious mind to guide you inexorably to the achievement of your weight loss goals. Visualisation is being recognised as a crucial component of goal attainment and is used by many athletes such as Andy Murray and Michael Phelps. You can use creative visualisation in a weight loss program by, for instance, visualising yourself turning down a cream cake and eating an apple instead. And then imagine how good you'll look after slimming down a size or two.
The point is, however, that this kind of creative visualisation is particularly effective when you are in the deep states of mind that meditation brings. When you are in a state of meditation, you can directly talk to your subconscious and embed the instructions that will program your mind to achieve its goals. In effect, you'll be changing your body by changing your mind.
There are many techniques you can use to meditate. However, many traditional meditation techniques can take a long time to master. Meditation Machines. such as the MindSpa, offer another route to deep relaxation and meditation that is particularly suited to the fast-paced, stressful lives that many of us lead these days. Whichever way you decide to meditate, the regular practice of meditation will play an important part in your weight-loss effort and will lead to a happier, healthier and more fulfilled life.
