Meditation and High Blood Pressure


"Meditation has long been revered for its mind, body and spirit benefits. It is a practice that has stood the test of time for thousands of years, and now in every walk of life – from children to adults and in every religion, it is being slowly accepted as normal practice. Most people consider the spiritual benefits of meditation and rarely ever think about the physical benefits that one can gain through the practice of meditation.

What Meditation Is

Meditation is the practice of bringing the mind, body and soul into harmony with one another. Sounds easy! well luckily, it is, but so many people think of it as a chore and not something that is a gift that is inherent within us all – rather like your intuition.
The tool that we use for meditation is the breath. Your breath is the most perfect tool that has been given to you and when you learn to use it properly, the benefits are tremendous, but one important benefit is the calming effect it has upon the body. The body reacts negatively when under pressure and this is manifested in increased blood pressure, which in turn sends a signal to the brain and the heart, causing more undue pressure physically manifested within the body. However, let’s now look at the phenomena of meditation and high blood pressure.

The Physical Benefits – Meditation and High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure is one of the biggest causes of heart failure and premature death in adults. However, it is also known that it can be one of the ailments that can easily be stopped in its tracks with lifestyle changes, but in all areas of one’s life. The main culprit for this condition is negligence of one’s nutrition and not being able to deal with stress, which is the main contributing factor to High Blood Pressure.

Meditation Reduces Your High Blood Pressure

In order to deal with the latter it is important to reduce your stress to a manageable level or even better – even lower. The heart rate and stress are closely related and learning to calm oneself through the practice of meditative techniques can have a lowering effect on your blood pressure. The act of deep breathing and being mindful of the breath actually causes the heart rate to slow down and one starts to get into a relaxed and comfortable state. Your blood pressure will naturally reduce and you will start to feel the physical benefits in your body. There is a direct correlation to meditation and high blood pressure. The American Heart association has recommended meditation as a serious contender to reducing cardiovascular disease."
