Meditation and its benefits

It’s important to bear in mind that there’s no such thing as a cure for mesothelioma and that treatment options such as meditation are only palliative.
There are numerous benefits to meditating. Unlike actual medical treatments, it costs absolutely nothing (unless you decide to join a meditation class.) Meditation doesn’t require you to obtain permission from your medical professional and it can be done just about anywhere at any time
One of the great benefits of meditating is that it doesn’t cost anything, you don’t need permission from your medical professional and it can be done just about anywhere at any time for as long as you choose.
Meditation has physiological, psychological and even spiritual benefits.
Physically, meditation can:
  • ·       Stimulate blood flow
  • ·       Lead to a state of relaxation

  • ·       Help you quit bad habits such as smoking and drinking too much.

Spiritually, meditation can:
