Meditation is a practice that involves training the mind to focus and redirect thoughts. It is commonly used for relaxation, stress reduction, and promoting overall well-being but the benefits of the elevated mind also include reducing emotionalism and levels of cortisol stress all of which have been proven to weaken the immune system and reduce intelligence. Meditation has therefore been proven scientifically to improve the physical body and the emotional body, something which the ancient Yogis of the East have long established and which Western Science is now ratifying.
