THE SCIENCE<br />

OF MEDITATION<br />

Sinking softly into a warm bubble bath is not just an exercise in<br />

self-indulgence, it can actually enhance your body’s function<br />

and mental health. Often cited as a form of meditation,<br />

taking some ‘me’ time to close your eyes and be soothed<br />

by the scent of a warm bath for half an hour is a powerful<br />

way to realign your thoughts, declutter your mind and quash<br />

negativity. While a clear defi nition of meditation is hard to pin<br />

down, research has shown that daily meditation lessens the<br />

production of the stress hormone cortisol. It also activates<br />

the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for<br />

involuntary functions such as digestion and blood pressure,<br />

often negatively aff ected by stress.<br />
