Science-backed benefits of meditation are varied and numerous. The consistent practice of meditation has a positive impact on the physical, mental and emotional health.
Anxiety is often experienced as overthinking of the past or future that is accompanied by overwhelming feelings of worry, fear and tension. These tend to overwhelm the nervous system. The practice of meditation slows the racing thoughts and regulates breathing which helps calm the nervous system.
By consistently practicing meditation, it reduces anxiety, decreases stress reactivity and improves coping skills and outlook.
NIH study of over 1,300 adults showed that meditation helped people experiencing generalised anxiety and high levels of anxiety with reduced reactivity, improvements in coping mechanisms and positive outlook.
