Can Meditation elevate your mood?


Hello Readers, hope you all are fine. We live in a world which is so much fast paced , sometime its essential  to slow down, sit back and relax isn't it ?  That is where meditation comes in - it cultivates a calm yet focused mind.

As per a study ( Behavioural Brain Research,Volume 356, 1 January 2019 ) researchers conducted a experiment to study more about mindfulness and meditation benefits. 42 non-experienced meditators were divided into 2 groups - one group did a 13 minute mindfulness meditation whereas the other group listened to 13 minute podcast.After neuro-psychological test were conducted it was seen that on 4 week mark no significant change was achieved.However the scenario changed on 8 week mark.Mindfulness meditation practitioners showed elevated mood levels , more emotional control and less stressed to different circumstances as compared to podcast listeners.

Now readers we can safely conclude that daily meditation can decrease anxiety , improve cognitive functioning in new meditators but the catch is you might see result only after roughly 8 week period.

#meditate daily :)

I bet ,,,well not many , and the simplest reason behind this is due to the fear of what will the society think of them. The findings from the study published by a professor of University of Kansas ( Brian Cole ) showed that men view the traditional depression symptoms as more severe than any other and they perceived those men with same traditional symptoms as less masculine.And this finding  helps in understanding why men do or don't seek help and the stigma behind mental health of men. image :psycom Also the professor added that men don’t always experience depression in the same ways that women do, so when they look to traditional symptoms of depression they might determine that they ‘are not depressed’ or that they ‘don’t need help.’ The study has been published in the Journal Psychology of Men & Masculinities, So readers since now you have this information available yo...
