How Meditation Can Help You Need Less Oxygen
The relationship between meditation and the body’s level of oxygen consumption is very important for achieving many, many great benefits. According to researchers, during meditation, oxygen consumption decreases by 10 to 20%, leading to a deep state of relaxation, even more effective than a night of sleep.
After years of research, scientists have provided us with a better understanding of how meditation can decrease levels of oxygen consumption. During meditation, there are many changes that occur in your body. After a few minutes of focused meditation and deep breathing, you will enter a state of profound relaxation, slowing your heart beat, breath, and muscle contractions.
The result of deep relaxation, slower breathing, and a lower heart rate is less oxygen needed in each breath, and fewer breaths needed in total. In other words, your cells demand less oxygen. Generally, it takes about six hours of deep sleep to reach this same level of relaxation and oxygen consumption. In meditation, you can achieve this result within minutes.
Imagine the possible benefits if you could lower your oxygen consumption during your normal waking activity? With regular meditation practice, this is possible. The reason that a lower oxygen intake is special and important is that it reflects a deep state of relaxation of the kind which revitalizes and energizes us. In these states, our body is able to rest from its normal activity to repair cells and tissues, making us healthier.
This relaxed state is one of the reasons meditation is good for our bodies and our minds. With regular meditation, we can make sure we are rested and have energy when we need it most, like during our work day, or while caring for children and other loved ones.

Scientists love studying meditators’ magnificent, "depression-free" brains. From transforming psychology, to rewiring thought, to massively upgrading physiology, here we discuss why meditation dominates depression.
When we break our leg, its size and strength slowly dwindle away inside our orthopedic cast. When depression has us on the ropes, our brain's hippocampus slowly wastes away inside our noggin. Luckily, meditation reverses this atrophy.
Scientists estimate the number of human thoughts at around 70,000 per day, meaning a worried, anxious mind can literally generate a new negative thought every couple of seconds! Luckily, meditation quiets the mind beautifully.
Between your magnificently complex brain's 100 billion neurons are a web-like network of "neurotransmitters." When levels run on empty, our stress defense shield drops — making us highly vulnerable to anxiety. Crank them up with meditation.
A recent study revealed that people were happiest when in a kind of fully immersed, deeply absorbed, present mind state. With our attention spans lower than ever, anxiety levels are higher than ever. Return to the present with meditation.
Like a wildfire, inflammation can fan its flames into something very big. Chronic inflammation, especially within the brain, is a self perpetuating, highly toxic condition — perfect for anxiety to proliferate. Extinguish it with meditation.
All of us require food, warmth, water, and sleep. But, is it also built into human DNA to crave doom & gloom? Is being afraid & worrying all the time human nature or did we get here through nurture? Here's how meditation deactivates fear.
From dark caves to sunlit skyscrapers, from incoherent grunting to the world wide web, from muddy riverbanks to the far reaches of the solar system, we owe everything to our prefrontal cortex. How meditation builds it up, destroys anxiety.
It's been said that the human mind is like a room full of monkeys, jumping around, chattering endlessly, carrying on all day & night. The loudest of them all is fear, their highly influential troop leader. Here's how meditation tames them.

Your whole essence as a human being, from your biological makeup to your thoughts, moods, & emotions (especially anxiety) show within your brainwave patterns. How meditation soothes & calms your anxious "beta" brainwaves.
Not having enough of this "calm chemical" can create an array of problems, including anxiety, nervousness, racing thoughts, sleeplessness, and most of all: bad habits. Here's how meditation uncaps the firehose.
We all know it. We have all felt it. Anger. For those of us with anger issues, our health, our work, our relationships, & our whole quality of life are dictated by one supreme ruler. Here's why meditators stay cool & calm no matter what.

Layer after layer, when you peel an onion all the way, what's left? The core. Likewise, after stripping away the reasons we gain weight (poor diet, low motivation, no exercise, etc), what's at the root? The mind. Master it with meditation.
Are you starving yourself to look like a ripped Hollywood movie star? Do the covers of GQ & Vogue have you slaving away on the treadmill? If so, your weight loss efforts are apt to crash & burn. Get intrinsic motivation. How? Meditation.
