Connection To Mind
The focal point in using meditation to keep the blood pressure under control is the use of breathing exercises couple with the oneness of body and mind.
Actually “feeling” and “hearing” these deep breathing exercises through the transcendental meditation style, the body elements get to correct the balance and restore the blood pressure to normal.
It is an accepted fact that the state of the mind has some influence on the functions of the body. With the relaxed state brought on by the mind through meditation, blood pressure can be controlled because the breathing exercises produce deep relaxation which causes the blood pressure to stabilize.
The stress hormones which build up over time and circumstances can then be dissipated and even eradiated altogether with the regular practice of meditation.
During this relaxed state, the production of nitric oxide, a gas in the blood that regulates the blood pressure levels can assist it to expand. This is necessary to achieve relaxed balances in the blood chemistry, in reducing acidity and keeping the blood pressure at its optimum levels.
Some medical researchers have documented proof that the transcendental meditation techniques impact the sympatric nervous system, resulting in the reduction in blood pressure reactivity to acute stress.
When this meditation style is regularly practiced the decreased cardiovascular activity will eventually produce results that can successfully control the blood pressure levels.
Thus as an alternative to long term medications, the meditation style therapy gives the individual a risk free option.
