Meditation to Lower Your Stress Levels and Increase Your Sense of Well-being

Most people are familiar with brain waves, but not as many people are familiar with heart waves. Researchers have found that our heart emits waves, much as our brain does. When we are in a state of stress, anxiety, worry, or depletion, these waves form a jagged and rough pattern. On the other hand, when we are a state of gratitude, these waves form a coherent pattern.

Why does this matter?
rnWhen our heart waves are in a state of coherence, we experience less stress, are better able to deal with lives challenges, and our more like to get what we want in life. Normally people think that when they get what they want, then they will be grateful. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. Many times people get what they have been striving for, only to find that new desires have come into their awareness. The success might bring momentary satisfaction, but it is quickly eclipsed by a new litany of desires.
rnThe fact is when we experience gratitude first, we are more likely to get what we want, AND more likely to enjoy it once we get it. By being in a state of gratitude, happiness, appreciation, and well-being, we can actually create circumstances in our lives to reinforce this feeling of well-being. By being in a state of heart-wave coherence, we can improve our health, our relationships, and our finances.
rnHere is a simple and easy heart-based meditation that can help you lower your stress levels and increase your sense of well-being:
rnSit comfortably and close your eyes.
rnThink of a person, place, or thing that gives you a sense of gratitude and appreciation.
rnWho in your life has had a tremendous impact on you who evokes appreciation?
rnIs there a place that you love to go to recharge?
rnDo you have a pet that you love?

Bring your attention to this person, place, or thing. Then take your attention and place it in your heart-chakra.

See if you can sense a feeling of gratitude and appreciation. If so, focus on this sensation within your heart. Gently feel it radiating outward.
rnIf you are unable to feel appreciation or gratitude, that is okay, simply continue to think of the person, place, or thing that you appreciate.

You can do this simple meditation any time you feel stressed, angry, or frustrated. It will transform your heart waves from being agitated to a state of coherence.

As you stay in this state of gratitude, you will notice that there is more and more in your life to appreciate. As you focus on appreciation, you will begin to live from a place of greater abundance, creating more of what you want in life.
