✔ Less stress and anxiety – Meditation lowers the stress hormone cortisol, making you feel calmer.
✔ Better sleep quality – Your brain switches from an active state to deep relaxation, which helps with deeper sleep.
✔ Less worrying thoughts – Meditation helps to let go of negative thoughts and be more in the moment.
✔ Improved breathing and heart rate – By breathing consciously, you balance your nervous system and fall asleep faster.✔ Wake up fresh and energetic – Because you sleep deeper and your mind is calmer, you wake up more easily in the morning and start your day with more energy.
