Meditation

Meditation is one of the most helpful holistic methods you could have decided on. It helps you become more aware of your body and your feelings. The body?s ability to heal is scientifically proven to be increased by meditation. Meditation also helps to move away from feelings of depression and anxiety, increasing the tendency to feel happy, relaxed and emotionally balanced.

Reading this you have probably quickly realized how invaluable this could be in losing weight. Many of us tend to find consolation in overeating when we are depressed.

Even the movie stereotypes teach us that in order to help yourself if you are sad about a break-up or work problems you should eat lots of chocolate, ice cream or other sweets that will make you feel better.

Meditation might have prevented such an unhappy event altogether, by keeping you emotionally balanced.
