Reduction in menstrual problems?
A study focusing on women with menstrual disorders revealed substantial symptom improvements following the practice of combination of Yoga and Meditation.
Results showed that 57% experienced reduced severe menstrual pain, 72% reported decreased irritability and mood swings, 87% observed a reduction in heavy flow during menstrual cycles, and 80% noticed fewer irregularities in their menstrual cycles.
Additionally, 83% reported reduced work impairment due to menstrual cycles, and 63% experienced diminished reliance on medical or surgical interventions for menstrual problems.
Reduced risk of heart diseases and improved cardiac function
Heart Rate Variability studies indicate that Yoga promotes a more balanced Cardiac Autonomic Nervous System. This enhancement positively impacts the heart's ability to effectively respond to stressful situations, consequently reducing the risk of various cardiac ailments such as hypertension, angina and myocardial infarction.
Furthermore, this balanced state of the Cardiac Autonomic Nervous System nurtures overall heart health, fostering resilience against cardiovascular diseases. By cultivating a harmonious physiological response, yoga contributes to not only the physical well-being of individuals but also their emotional and mental equilibrium.
Improved quality of sleep
Polysomnographic study comparing yoga practitioners and matched controls revealed a statistically significant improvement in sleep efficiency and a reduced number of awakenings during sleep. These findings indicate an enhanced quality of sleep among yoga practitioners.
Enhanced mental capabilities
The EEG study on meditators practicing the combination of Yoga and Meditation unveiled higher levels of coherence between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This greater brain synchronization is indicative of enhanced neural connectivity, fostering a more integrated cognitive function.
Moreover, the observed increase in coherence between brain hemispheres correlates with significantly enhanced mental capabilities among practitioners. These include improved learning ability, increased creativity, heightened mental clarity, and a sharper intellect. Such cognitive enhancements highlight the profound impact of combination of Yoga and Meditation on brain function and overall cognitive well-being.
Increased alertness, awareness, and relaxation
Neurophysiological studies using EEG revealed a substantial increase in delta and theta brain waves and markedly reduced beta and alpha brain waves when measured after 21 minutes of combination of Yoga and Meditation practice.
Increase in delta and theta waves are associated with deep relaxation and higher levels of mental focus. Reduced beta waves are associated with reduced mental tension and anxiety. Reduced alpha waves in conjunction with increased theta and delta waves are associated with conscious awareness of the subconscious mind.
These results support a drop in stress and anxiety, a boost in mental alertness and focus, and an increase in self-awareness as a result of just 21 minutes of daily practice.
