Meditation is a powerful tool that has been scientifically studied and shown to improve brain function and promote the parasympathetic nervous system-our “rest and digest” system necessary to run the basic functions of the body.  In the stressed state or “fight and flight” mode, the body actually diverts its resources away from critical systems including digestion, reproduction, sleep, blood flow, immunity and rational thought. These systems are dampened, the body tenses and energy is diverted to limbs to supercharge our ability to run or fight the enemy. In our modern world, the body’s perceived assaults are typically made up of many invisible stressors like work, family obligations, health challenges, politics, climate concerns, terrorism and money concerns. This is very different than past challenges that humans faced like running from a tiger! Today’s tigers are ever present, chronic and unrelenting and so to is the stress the body endures. 

Meditation is an important piece to help move the body out of a chronically stressed state and restore it’s ability to fully fuel the function of these critical systems. Most of my clients come in with a wide range of symptoms that often include digestive issues, low immunity, sleep impairment, depression and anxiety. Restoring the parasympathetic nervous system is a step to rewiring the very function of the body and these critical systems.
