Hello and welcome to episode 149 of The Mindful Kind podcast. This is the first episode in my new mini-series about meditation, so I've decided to talk about what meditation is, some of the research on it and a few of the potential benefits of a meditation practice. Here are the links to some of the studies I mentioned: Article: <a href= "https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/272833.php" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Does meditation have benefits for mind and body?</a> Article: <a href= "https://liveanddare.com/benefits-of-meditation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scientific benefits of meditation</a> Article: <a href= "https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2011/04/07/meditation-leads-to-greater-pain-relief-than-morphine/#18ac529c27a2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meditation leads to greater pain relief than morphine</a> Some of the benefits of meditation can include reduced stress, anxiety and depression, increased self-awareness, better attention, help with anger management, more compassion and improved sleep. Be sure to keep an eye out for the next episode in the meditation mini-series about the different types of meditation. Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.
