Are there certain practices which could help you regain your energy and zest for life? The answer is yes! In this article I will be going over some of the benefits you will experience from meditation as well as moderate exercise.
DEEP SLEEP
When one is always tired, the natural desire is to sleep, however more sleep does not usually resolve the problem of feeling tired. Many people are not relaxed when they sleep, this inability to shut off the mind and relax the body means that deep states of sleep are impossible to reach. The persons sleep is then easily interrupted by noise, movement and any other form of discomfort. If you are always feeling tired it could be because you are not getting to the state of deep sleep, where your body really rests, and as a result of interrupted sleep you may wake up feeling tired the next day. Another important fact to remember about deep sleep is this; When you are in a deep sleep, not only is your body getting the rest it needs but it is also in this state when your cells regenerate. If you are stressed, ill or take medication which has adverse side effects, then it is in this deep sleep that the body goes about its healing work.
MEDITATION
Regular practices of meditation forces the mind to quieten down, when this happens the body relaxes and the body’s natural healing mechanism kicks-in. Scientists have monitored long term meditators and saw that whilst meditating their biochemistry changed as well as brain waves. It relaxes muscles, boosts immune functions, reduces stress hormones, improves heart conditions, and much more. Because it has such a wide variety of benefits on all levels of ones being it is for this reason that meditation should be practiced irrespective of the cause of you always feeling tired. If you are always tired because of stress- it will relax you. If you are tired because you are depressed-it will lift your mood. If you are tired because of illness- it will boost your immune system. Start meditating today, and have sounder sleep.
