A couple of days ago I talked openly about the things I do daily that I firmly believe are playing a significant part in keeping me in a hopeful state for a future that’s worth living and not just opening my eyes in the morning but looking forward to closing them at night with nothing to be grateful for between them.
The part I mentioned about meditation is what I’m going to address now. The Autonomic Nervous System in everyone’s body has various parts to play that are vital to functioning every day. I’ll not go into everything but I will talk about one specifically, that is De-generation and Re-generation of cells. If each side were equal then we’d all live forever but sadly the Degeneration is more powerful, hence ageing. The two sides responsible are the Sympathetic, degeneration and the Parasympathetic or regeneration.
The Autonomic nervous system is strengthened when the body is in a relaxed stress free state, both sides obviously, but it’s widely considered that the calmer and stress free the mind, the better the chance of a Parasympathetic bias,how do we achieve that state? Meditation…
Meditation is conscious sleep.
Sleep is unconscious meditation
So the best way to strengthen the Parasympathetic autonomic nervous system is through meditation.
