Many studies have proven that meditation has numerous physiological benefits, including a study done at Harvard University.

In the 8-week study, researchers determined that a simple practice like meditation could rebuild the grey matter of the brain in as little as eight weeks.

The brain’s gray matter is responsible for the primary thinking, perceiving, and cognitive functions of the brain, helping us process information.

Meditation can do much more than boosting the brain, and it may even help you reduce your blood pressure, fight anxiety, and help you fight pain.

In this article, we will look at some of the many activities and exercises you can do so you can take advantage of this wonderful state of mind.

These science-based, comprehensive exercises will not only help you cultivate a sense of inner peace throughout your daily life but will also give you the tools to enhance the mindfulness of your clients, students, or employees.

3 Meditation Breathing Exercises

There are many types of breathing exercises. Dr. Andrew Weil, an Integrative Medicine pioneer and professor of Medicine and Public Health, recommends three kinds of breathing exercises:

The Stimulating Breath or Bellow Breath.

Relaxing Breathing Exercise (4-7-8 Breathing).

Counting the Breath.

According to Dr. Weil, practicing regular mindful breathing can help you feel calm and energized, and it may even help you manage stress-related health problems.

Breathing is something we can regulate and control, and it is an excellent tool for helping to clear the mind and achieve a state of relaxation.
