☆  meditate 瞑想する

============================

Have you ever tried meditating? I have a client who meditates every day, and says it has been the best habit he ever started. For me, though, I always think “I should meditate” but I never do it more than once! But I was recently reading about the benefits of regularly meditating, and one is that it has anti-aging effects! The scientists don’t know why, but if you regularly meditate, it seems that you have longer telomeres (the ends of your DNA strands), and longer telomeres are associated with a younger biological age (rather than the age of when you were born.)

So! I think I may have just found my motivation to build the habit of meditating! Anti-aging effects and being more relaxed… sounds good to me! If you don’t meditate, is there anything that would make you motivated to try it? What benefit would you want to get from regularly meditating?

Bye,

Chris
