Meditation Techniques to Reduce Anxiety through Mindfulness: 10 Minutes a Day to Achieve a Calm Mind and Happier Life

Meditation is a holistic approach to training your mind, in a manner similar to how an athlete exercises for physical fitness. It is a practice where the meditator uses techniques to focus the mind on a particular thought, or object to achieve a mentally clear, and stable state that is also known as mindfulness. Meditation has been used to treat anxiety successfully. This book will help you understand the nature of anxiety, and its many symptoms, such as nervousness, nausea, sweating, trembling, feeling weak and tired, difficulty concentrating, having trouble sleeping, obsessing over trivial matters, and hyperventilation. Meditation is the primary form of achieving mindfulness. We will discuss the various types of meditation, and provide you with an exercise that will take no more than ten minutes of your day to perform. In this exercise, you will learn how to meditate by relaxing, focusing on your breathing, noticing your thoughts, and achieving a state of mindfulness. There are many types of meditation that can help you in achieving mindfulness, namely Zen meditation, Metta meditation, yoga, body scan meditation, and mindfulness meditation. Each of these will be discussed in detail, along with the scientific benefits of meditation, which include lowering your blood pressure, improving your emotional health, lengthening your life-span, reducing stress, and most importantly, combating anxiety.
