Why do we need to Meditate?
Meditation is the simplest form of action and when we are practicing it we do not intentionally think about anything or concentrate on feeling and perception. We sit in a simple state where our body and mind are balanced and undivided.
When you are caught up in the emotional agitation of anger, anxiety, fear, and delusion, you may find yourself reluctant to very real physical ailments; and when you are ill, the world may seem to be a very miserable place.
When your mind exposed to external substances to which you may be allergic can alter everything about your body & mind which can cause violent mood swings, depression, hallucinations and all sorts of physical effect. Whatever the cause, the disease is most often accompanied by an assortment of disruptive emotions. Meditation has proved to be effective in removing both the physical effects and the emotions which accompany them.
At the state of meditation the autonomic nervous system works in a normal way which gives us a state of balance of body -and- mind: not too tense, and too relaxed not overly optimistic or pessimistic; not too aggressive and not too passive.
As per the study conducted by Sara Lazar ( a neuroscientist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School) found very astonishing results in the human brain in the regular mediators.
