Meditation benefits

Feeling stressed out and not sure what to do about it? Some doctors may suggest meditating, as CNN's Judy Fortin reports

Close your eyes and bring your attention inward.

This is Kevin Houston’s second lesson on how to meditate and already the 46-year-old says he's feeling less stressed and more focused.

“Meditation helps adjust, I think, to have some clarity in mind，to have a holding mark, for me is will be more patience.”

What Kevin and his classmates might not realize is that researchers have shown even simple meditation techniques can benefit the entire body.

“Relaxing your body, actually it will turn down your heart rate, turns down your blood pressure.”

Psychiatrist Charles Raison says there are many different ways to practice meditation, but keeping your mind from wandering is one of the most difficult tricks.

The experience of meditating at least in my experience is extremely powerful and oft to be kind of revelatory about your internal state.

For that reason, he recommends taking a class and practicing.

“Over period of time, you're able to focus and to look within for the peace and the quiet, no matter how stressful the moment is.”

A lesson that goes beyond the class. For today's Health Minute. I am Judy Fortin.

感到压力很大，不确定该怎么做？有医生建议冥想。CNN记者Judy Fortin报道。

闭上眼睛，集中精力于内心世界。

这是Kevin Houston的第二节冥想课程。这名46岁的男子说他感觉到压力轻了一些，更容易集中精力了。

“冥想有助于思想清晰，精力集中，对我来说，就是更有耐心。”

Kevin和他的同学可能没有意识到，研究人员证明，即使是最简单的冥想技巧也对整个身体有益。

“身体放松可以降低心率，降低血压。”

精神病医师Charles Raison表示，有许多种不同的方式进行冥想，但是不让大脑神游是最困难的方式。

冥想的经历，至少我自己的冥想经历非常有效，是内心状态的启示。

由于这个原因，他建议进行冥想课程来进行实践。

“经过一段时间，你就能够集中精力，可以获得内心的祥和和平静，无论那时压力多大。”
