Hello,

Am interested more in meditation and how it improves spiritual and physical health. Does anyone here meditate? Has it improved your health at all? Thank you.
 
Yes they have done countless amazing studies on the efficacy of meditation. Look into the works of Lynne McTaggart (The Field/The Intention Experiment) as well as Transcendental Meditation - they have done a lot of research.

In extremely brief, aside from many many other benefits meditation helps calm down the stress the body is under - stress lowers the immune system thus diminishing your bodies ability to stay healthy. In fight or flight stressed mode your body "squeezes" the blood from your torso and internal organs (including where the immune system regulation is) to the extremities - to enable you to punch or run or whatever. It was squeezes the blood from the thinking and logical forebrain to the hindbrain where motor controls are - so under stress you actually get stupider!

There's heaps and heaps of research out there

This I can answer with a 100% yes! Both my daughter and I started doing yoga and meditation about a year ago. My health was going straight down hill. I was over weight, smoked a pack a day, drank coffee all day, never ate veggies or fruits, was stressed up to my eyeballs, ect.. You get the picture!
My daughter started getting into this negative body image, started over eatting, freaking out about the littlest things. So we decided to get healthy! Yoga with meditation every morning to start. It was like someone had opened up the flood gates and let all the bad stuff out. Now we have both am and pm yoga with meditation. Here is a list of my biggest improvements.
Digestion (my acid reflux went away, normal bowel movements)
Heart rate (mine use to run at 89-100 bmp at resting rate, now its 69)
Migraines (without all that stress I have no headaches)
Back pain (this was the first to go)
Menses (again no more pain, only lasts 3 days)
Sleep (its soooo nice not to wake up 8 times in the night, good solid deep sleep)
I have and so has my daughter found peace with myself. I actually cried when I figured this out.
I have answed many big questions that I had while in meditation. But mostly I found out I really like
who I am!!!
