Mindfulness meditation has been around for thousands of years and those in Los Angeles could benefit greatly from using it. In short, it is an awareness of the experiences around you, both in the present, future, and past. It’s a nonjudgmental look at what you’re doing or a reflection of what you’ve done or will do.
Stress Lowering
Research has recently shown that being mindful of your surroundings and life can leave you feeling less stressed because you are taking time out of your busy schedule to focus on something in particular. Likewise, it can help reduce cortisol levels in the body, which lowers stress, as well.
True Self
Being mindful allows you to see past the rose-colored glasses you wear all the time. Everyone is so focused on what can be done or what should be done, that they neglect to see where those things will take them. Most people in Los Angeles walk around with blinders on so they don’t have to see things they may not like. However, diminishing your flaws won’t help you achieve your goals.
Education
For those who are still in school, mindfulness meditation can help you succeed. Those who train for mindful thinking may perform better on tests and have better working memory.
Pains/Illness
While medical doctors still refute the claim, many people in Los Angeles have claimed that their mindfulness meditation has lessened their pain or cured illness. It can lead to feeling more energized, lower stress levels, and reduce the pains that are common for those with arthritis and other common ailments.
Change The Brain Safely
The brain is amazing in what it can do, but sometimes, it needs to be altered slightly to reduce mental imbalances and illness. Instead of shocking the brain into making changes this meditative technique could help to make changes in a safer and protective way.
