Meditating for Longevity: Why and How?
Incorporating Meditation Into Your Life
Let's say you're sold on the idea of meditation as a life-lengthening practice. How should you start meditating at home? While there are a number of techniques you can choose from, the ones clinically proven from the above studies tended to focus on three things:
- Mindfulness, or creating a calm and stable state of mind by letting go
- Purpose, or re-affirming life goals and finding meaning in one's existence
- Perceived control, or understanding and accepting one’s surroundings and events
If you're serious about dedicating yourself to meditation and increasing your longevity, let these three tips be your starting point. Mastering this skill is easier said than done but with some effort and guidance you'll start generating that telomerase in no time!
