world centuries back! It is a fairly recent phenomenon that the western world has accepted meditation as scientific and beneficial! In fact, in recent times, meditation is fast becoming a tool to reach higher goals in life for many people across the world and slowly but steadily the popularity is growing across all all the countries. Some may do it as a form of mental exercise, some may benefit from it as a stress buster yet some may still be in the "trying out" stage - none the less, the effects and phenomenal and the benefits are huge!

There are many reasons as to why it Meditation is so popular -

Meditation is all about training your mind to focus and concentrate and at the same time let go of "worldly thoughts". This in turn relieves you of your stress. Meditation is fast becoming a great "stress buster" for many people

It helps in releasing muscle tensions and relaxes every muscle and calms all the nerves in your body - which is essential especially if you are leading a busy and chaotic life

Our body produces carbon dioxide which is harmful for us and thus needs to be released. Meditation involves regulated breathing which ensures more intake of oxygen and less production of carbon dioxide

You regain your day's composure because it calms down your heart rate and slows your breathing

Did you know that many people across the world practice meditation because it increases their blood flow and the supply of blood to all vital organs is increased? This reduces the risk of any heart disease and circulatory related illness

Meditation is also popular and practiced widely for the benefit of production of alpha and theta brain waves. For daily routine activities, our brain is used to producing beta waves. But for memory training, relaxation, improvement of focus and concentration, theta and alpha waves are required which are attained via meditation

In today's chaotic and hectic world, everyone is trying to outdo the other and be at the top. This is not just stressful but over a period of time, it has been observed that these people fall victims to "depression". Regular practice of meditation produces the required alpha waves and also positive hormones which help in curing depression and making the person more happy, optimistic and positive!

Lastly, it is said that if you are really tired, the chances are you cannot fall asleep quickly and faithfully. Try meditating before you hit the bed and see the results - you will have a great sleep and will wake up refreshed!

Meditation is a very personal thing and needs to be done in your own space with your own inner self! This is not a group activity. Take some time out and give it a shot - when the popularity is so widespread, there must be a good reason behind it!
