Meditation and your emotional wellbeing
Meditation has been shown to improve emotional well-being in several ways. It calms the mind and decreases stress and anxiety by shifting brain activity from the stress-prone right frontal cortex to the calmer left frontal cortex. Regular meditation can boost self-acceptance, self-confidence, independence, personal growth, and positive relationships. Mindfulness meditation in particular is effective for relieving anxiety and depression by teaching people to live in the present moment without distraction or judgment. Meditation provides physiological, psychological, and spiritual benefits and takes only a short amount of time each day to experience these impacts on overall health and happiness.

Meditation
The term meditation refers to a group of techniques, such as mantra meditation, relaxation response,mindfulness meditation, and Zen Buddhist meditation. Most meditative techniques started in Eastern religious or spiritual traditions. These techniques have been used by many different cultures throughout the world for thousands of years. Today, many people use meditation outside of its traditional religious or cultural settings, for health and well-being.
In meditation, a person learns to focus attention. Some forms of meditation instruct the practitioner to become mindful of thoughts, feelings, and sensations and to observe them in a nonjudgmental way. This practice is believed to result in a state of greater calmness and physical relaxation, and psychological balance. Practicing meditation can change how a person relates to the flow of emotions and thoughts.
Most types of meditation have four elements in common:
A quiet location. Meditation is usually practiced in a quiet place with as few distractions as possible. This can be particularly helpful for beginners.
A specific, comfortable posture. Depending on the type being practiced, meditation can be done while sitting, lying down, standing, walking, or in other positions.
A focus of attention. Focusing one’s attention is usually a part of meditation. For example, the meditator may focus on a mantra (a specially chosen word or set of words), an object, or the sensations of the breath. Some forms of meditation involve paying attention to whatever is the dominant content of consciousness.
An open attitude. Having an open attitude during meditation means letting distractions come and go naturally without judging them. When the attention goes to distracting or wandering thoughts, they are not suppressed; instead, the meditator gently brings attention back to the focus. In some types of meditation, the meditator learns to “observe” thoughts and emotions while meditating.
Meditation used as CAM is a type of mind-body medicine. Generally, mind-body medicine focuses on:
The interactions among the brain/mind, the rest of the body, and behavior.
The ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors can directly affect health.
SPIRITUAL FACTOR IN HEALING
Healing in a holistic sense has faded from medical attention and is rarely discussed in modern (“Western”) medicine especially in therapeutics. However, other disciplines like medical anthropology, sociology, alternate systems of medicine, and medical philosophy have continued an active contemplation of holistic healing. To heal is to achieve or acquire wholeness as a person. The wholeness of personhood involves physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual aspects of human experience (Egnew, 2005).
It is perhaps difficult to quantify the relative importance of the various factors that contribute to healing. It may vary depending on the kind of illness that is being studied. Of the various factors that contribute to healing of illnesses in a community, only 20% could be ascribed to rational treatment using medicines or surgery. The remaining 80% is divided among three faith-based factors (White, 1988).
i) Placebo effect (faith in drugs or procedural interventions)
ii) Hawthorne effect (faith in a health care system, a facility or a professional)
iii) Factor-X or “spiritual factor” (faith in oneself or in the supernatural)
The relative importance of these faith-based factors in holistic healing may be debatable. However, there is no denying that these factors play an important part in the recovery from illnesses.
Yoga and lifestyle
Modern medical advancements provide the rationale for the integration of various traditional healing techniques including Yoga to promote healing, health, and longevity. It is imperative that advances in medicine include the wholistic approach of Yoga to face the current challenges in health care. The antiquity of Yoga must be united with the innovations of modern medicine to improve quality of life throughout the world.
Lifestyle is the way people live and this has immense influence on the status of health or disease. Since one’s lifestyle is developed early in life, it is advisable to cultivate healthy lifestyle in early childhood. Many factors determine one’s lifestyle. Economic status determines incidence of under-nutrition in poor and obesity in the rich. Cultural values of the society dictate the dietary preferences in the population. Sedentary life is a major factor for coronary artery disease while personal habits like smoking and alcoholism determine the incidence of heart disease and cirrhosis of liver. Exercise, healthy diet and rest and relaxation are important components of lifestyle.
Yoga is the most perfect lifestyle module as it is comprehensive and holistic in its nature. Yogic lifestyle including diet, attitudes and various techniques help strengthen and develop positive health thus enabling us to withstand stress better. This Yogic “health insurance” is achieved by normalizing the perception of stress, optimizing the reaction to it and by releasing the pent up stress effectively through various Yogic practices. Yoga is a wholistic and integral science of life dealing with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of the individual and society.

Holistic Approach for Healthy Livings
In a world of specialization, we have been trained to think of medicine as a separate world—when we are sick, we go to doctors and follow their advice. This is starting to change, with the increasing popularity of alternative and holistic approaches to overall health and well-being.
A holistic approach to health simply means that a person works to maintain a good working balance between mind, body and soul. Although each of us at one time or another suffers from an imbalance that affects us, nature’s way is to seek balance in a quick and appropriate way. Holistic treatment is designed to help achieve that balance

Holistic Approach for Healthy Livings
In a world of specialization, we have been trained to think of medicine as a separate world—when we are sick, we go to doctors and follow their advice. This is starting to change, with the increasing popularity of alternative and holistic approaches to overall health and well-being.
A holistic approach to health simply means that a person works to maintain a good working balance between mind, body and soul. Although each of us at one time or another suffers from an imbalance that affects us, nature’s way is to seek balance in a quick and appropriate way. Holistic treatment is designed to help achieve that balance

Meaning Of Meditation
When you hear the word meditation, you probably think Yoga. That's because for a very long time, or at least over the past few decades, meditation has primarily been performed as a part of Yoga. But meditation, doesn't really have anything to do with Yoga. It is in fact an act in itself. Meditation is generally performed after doing Yoga asanas/postures, because yoga pushes you into a state of calm, which is perfect for meditation.
Meditation is far too deep a concept to discuss over a single article, but I will try to explain the fundamental points of meditation and why it should be practiced.

Stress is a common problem in modern society, and can have negative effects on both physical and mental health. Meditation is a practice that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation and reduce stress, and in recent years there has been growing scientific interest in the effects of meditation on stress reduction.
Research has found that regular meditation practice can help to reduce symptoms of chronic stress, such as high blood pressure, headaches, and insomnia. A meta-analysis of 47 studies found that mindfulness meditation programs were effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pain, and improving overall well-being (Goyal et al., 2014). Other studies have found that meditation can help to improve cognitive function, including attention, memory, and decision-making (Tang et al., 2015).
The mechanisms underlying the effects of meditation on stress reduction are not yet fully understood, but research has suggested that meditation may help to reduce stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and reducing activity in the sympathetic nervous system (Chiesa & Serretti, 2010). Meditation may also help to reduce stress by increasing activity in brain regions associated with emotional regulation and attentional control, such as the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex (Creswell, 2017).
Overall, the evidence to date suggests that regular meditation practice can have both short-term and long-term benefits for reducing stress and promoting overall well-being. Whether you prefer mindfulness meditation, loving-kindness meditation, or another technique, the key is to find a technique that feels comfortable and effective for you, and to practice regularly in order to see the full benefits.
Recent studies have also investigated the effects of meditation on specific populations, such as healthcare professionals, who may be at increased risk for stress and burnout. One study found that a mindfulness-based stress reduction program was associated with reduced stress, burnout, and perceived stress in healthcare professionals (Krasner et al., 2009). Other studies have found that meditation can help to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans and other trauma survivors (Polusny et al., 2015).
In addition to reducing stress, meditation has been found to have a range of other health benefits. For example, research has suggested that meditation can help to reduce inflammation, improve immune function, and even slow the aging process (Black et al., 2016).

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
The Hope of Salvation - Jude 1:24-25 - Message

Importance of meditation in buddhism
- 1. Importance Of Meditation In Buddhism
- 4. •The first and foremost benefit of meditation is the fact that it improves our memory power, even under stress. •It is the quick solution in calming the mind and the body when we feel too much pressure or suffer from anxiety, nervousness or stress. •Regular meditation helps a person keep sudden negative mood swings at bay. •The power of concentration is greatly honed by the practice of regular meditation. Mental distractions can be tackled smartly if a person is a regular meditator. Importance Of Meditation In Buddhism
- 5. •Meditation curbs the chances of degradation of the brain. Research proves that there is a strong connection between meditation and intelligence, since it substantially increases the size of a person’s brain. •The immunity system of a person’s body becomes more attuned with the common diseases that can affect a person’s body. •Apart from basic common diseases, medical research also proves that regular meditation has a positive effect on people suffering from heart diseases, high blood pressure, cancer, and asthma among many others. Importance Of Meditation In Buddhism
- 6. Importance Of Meditation In Buddhism •Meditating is a great way to rejuvenate the human body when fatigue strikes. In fact, a meditation break can also work as a substitute of sleep. •Chronic pain, whether physical or emotional, can be cured to a large extent by inculcating the good habit of meditating every day. •With meditation, a person becomes more attuned with his surroundings since it has major positive effects on his alertness and vigilance.
- 8. Significance Of Buddhist Monks •The primary task of a Buddhist monk is to spread the teachings of Lord Buddha. They devote their entire life to this task and the well- being of the religion, as a whole. •Although a Buddhist monk ideally renounces his worldly life, he still has a lot to do withthe welfare of the society. They are the only people who can solve the problems of a follower of Buddhism. Hence, their focus lies on their followers; they help their followers by advising them on all stages of life. •Apart from the above two roles, another important significance of a Buddhist monk is that he also engages himself in various social activities. There are a number of schools, hospitals and other charitable institutions that are run by Buddhist monks.
