Each of us has the power to create a healthier way of life. The choices we make today impact our physical, mental, and spiritual health tomorrow. We are laying the groundwork for our health in the future, whether months or years from now. We are also making choices that impact our families.

If we knew that all the choices we make regarding our physical, mental, and spiritual health were forming the foundation for our physical existence now and for the future, we would make better decisions.

Be still. Being still is another phrase for meditation. Scientific research done by medical practitioners and doctors have proven that meditation has benefits to the body and mind. meditation helps us sit in a calm, relaxed state so that we can ward off the effects of daily life challenges. When we remain calm, our body is not producing excessive fight-or-flight hormones that can lead to stress-related ailments such as heart attack, stroke, hypertension, headaches, and digestive and skin problems.

We not only suffer physical illness from stress, but we create emotional and mental difficulties when we are not calm. Through meditation we can keep a calm and peaceful mind to help us lead happier lives. When we meditate, we control our heart rate and breathing to a point where we are calm. It can hence improve our health and well-being physically, mentally, and spiritually.
