How CBD Can Help You Go Deep in Meditation
In a highly busy, highly stressful world, we need moments when you can relax and unwind. In this fast-paced world, getting quality sleep is almost a tall order. And even taking a well-deserved vacation sometimes is not enough to combat the pressure from work that often takes a toll on your physical and mental health.
Wellness experts recommend many alternative means to recharge. Some suggest a massage or going to a spa or jacuzzi while others advise a harsher route — doing some workouts like jogging or going to the gym. But while these are healthy ways to revive your energy, there is a cheaper and more practical way to unwind anytime even while at work. You can spend some time in meditation with essential oils like CBD.
Meditation: The Ancient Way to Relax
For ancient civilizations, meditation is a way to calm one’s mind. While this relaxing activity takes its roots in ancient Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, modern psychologists and doctors have adopted this in their healing practice. Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, a pioneer of contemporary mindfulness meditation, used the techniques used by ancient religions to combat stress and help treat other psychological disorders like anxiety and depression. Western medicine has finally acknowledged the healing properties of the centuries-old way for a relaxed and calm mind.
Aside from quieting your mind and soothing your nerves. meditation also has many science-backed benefits such as:
- Lowering blood pressure
- Boosting emotional health
- Promoting quality sleep
- Improving self-awareness
- Reducing memory loss
- Sharpening attention and focus
- Assisting you in your fight against addictions
- Helping your body control chronic and acute pain.
The great thing about meditation is it is easy to do. You can do this anywhere, even during lunch breaks at your office. Here are some steps to do this.
- Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed for a few minutes. You can also play relaxing instrumental music, binaural beats or nature sounds.
- Sit with a straight back. You can also lie down.
- Take deep breaths, focusing on each breath.
- When thoughts appear in your mind, acknowledge them without judging them and then revert your attention to your breathing.
Continue this for 10 minutes or more until you feel calm and energized.
How CBD Help in Meditation
You can use cannabidiol as a supplement for meditation. Like doing workouts, wellness experts recommend a regular meditation session especially as a method of treating particular health issues such as anxiety.
CBD’s property to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system can help you in having a better mood. This effect will help prepare your mind to meditate. It can also help in calming your mind, taking deeper breaths, and sustaining your focus, which will enhance the benefits of meditation.
Experts recommend taking CBD products before starting the session to give it enough time for your body to absorb it. You should take CBD capsules at least an hour before you meditate to be digested and take effect in the body. Vaping CBD oil and placing CBD oil or tinctures under your tongue can have to be absorbed by the body faster.
Certain cannabis strains can also will help you reach the mood and mental clarity conducive to meditation. But you should only use these in moderation.
You can also take full-spectrum hemp oil products that contain many vital nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, protein, essential fatty acids, fiber, flavonoids, and terpenes to restore your energy and promote overall health.
CBD and meditation are an excellent combination for a healthier, more focused and productive you. Now you have a safe alternative in fighting stress, anxiety, and other health conditions that ails today’s world.
