Why meditate
Make space for a healthy mind
The world feels stressful right now.
Doing two, three or five things at once has become normal. Our lifestyles have adapted to a never-ending barrage of distractions, but our minds and the systems that control our stress levels are yet to catch up. Getting stressed is not bad for you. Staying stressed is.
Research shows that meditating, even for a few minutes at a time, helps us cope better with daily life: manage stress, think more clearly, sleep deeper, work more efficiently and live in a calmer, more considered way.
Principles of meditation
Five simple steps
01
Breathe
Get grounded and experience your breath.
02
Focus
Focus on something: a mantra, a word, your breath, your body.
03
Let go
Let go of the focus and experience nothingness.
04
Think
When a thought pops into your head, acknowledge it and let it go.
05
Repeat
Repeat from step two.
06
Keep going
A few minutes every day changes more than an hour once a month.
Science-based benefits
What meditation does
01
Reduce your stress
It regulates the fight-or-flight response and reduces our negativity bias, so we panic less over little things.
02
Keep emotions in check
It creates a mental buffer, so it is easier to choose how to respond instead of flying off the handle.
03
Concentrate for longer
Thanks to neuroplasticity, the more we train focus, the easier it gets.
04
Develop people skills
Compassion towards ourselves makes stronger relationships; long-term meditators are more empathetic.
