Health Benefits of mindful movement & meditation

Hundreds of physiological and psychological health outcomes have been identified amidst nearly a thousand research studies on the health effects of practices that promote mindfulness. Common reoccurring themes in research include:
  • Improved cardiovascular health
  • Increase immune response
  • Improved sleep
  • Reduction in chronic pain
  • Reduction in anxiety
  • Reduction depression
Meditation
Increases Brain Function and Health
Our data indicate that regular practice of meditation is associated with increased thickness in a subset of cortical regions related to somatosensory, auditory, visual and interoceptive processing. Further, regular meditation practice may slow age-related thinning of the frontal cortex.

Qiqong
Increases Heart and Circulatory Health
​Seven studies on Qigong reported favorable cardiovascular and/or pulmonary outcomes. One of the most consistent findings was the significant reduction in blood pressure. Other indicators of cardiac health have been evaluated. Reduced heart rate is reported as well as increases in heart rate variability.
