The human immune system is made of complex biological structures and processes. It is our defense against external invaders, like viruses and bacteria. If the immune system is weak, the human body will fail to operate normally and will eventually die. Meditation is a holistic approach to strengthening the immune system, and scientific data prove the positive effects of meditation on the body and mind.
Research has shown that meditation increases antibodies and enhances brain-function, both will strengthen your immune system. Meditation increases electrical activity in the left side of your brain; the part that controls positive emotion and anxiety. This is also the part of your brain which acts as a command center for your immune system. Increased activity in this area of the brain helps make the immune system act faster and produce more defense cells.
Meditation also melts away stress. Meditation, through its ability to alleviate stress and undo the damage caused by daily stress, is your immune system's greatest ally. When you focus in meditation, you release stressful thoughts and remove yourself from the daily pressures and demands on your body, mind, and emotions. This creates a more positive state, increasing oxygen and blood flow, and general feelings of relaxation, love, trust, and well-being.
Since your immune system, for reasons unknown, responds to both negative thoughts and positive thoughts, meditation creates conditions in which the immune system can strengthen and increase. This means better health, more energy, and greater happiness. In case you didn't know, these are the ingredients for a wonderful and productive life.
Everyone wants to be happy and healthy. Is it such a surprise that happiness and health are intertwined? Through meditation, you increase your health by increasing your happiness, reducing stress, and stimulating your brain to activate your immune system. There are no surgeries, pills, or magical potions which can do all that, which is why meditation is your key to a strong immune system.
