The Importance of Meditation and Diabetes
Anyone
can practice meditation by having the right mindset and attitude. It takes
practice to stand still, lie down quietly, and focus on your breathing.
But if you are new at meditating and are diabetic, you can do meditation with
some preparation. Eat a small snack or a small meal before doing mindfulness,
guided Meditation, yoga, walking meditation, or any other form of
meditation. Carry a water bottle, a small juice box, or a fruit cup if
you are going to walk for two hours.
Prepare your room
or a small corner with a mat, bolsters, cushions, or a small pillow for doing
Yoga. Make sure the floor is not slippery if you are going to do Tai Chi or
movement meditation. Begin slowly with your movements and when you do
stretches. Do not force yourself too much when you are flexing your muscles. Play
music or listen to guided Meditations while laying down.
Meditation is important
if you are diabetic because it helps lower your blood pressure. It helps you
calm down while your cardiovascular system also relaxes. Your brain fog and
fatigue also improve by learning to relax. Additionally, your sleeping routine
improves. Always monitor your sugar levels especially if you meditate for one
hour.
Meditation
reduces your sugar levels. It brings awareness of the self and improves your
behavior. Meditating improves your eating habits by making healthier choices.
Also, it may lessen body aches and pain. You will be attentive to your
emotions.
Begin to meditate
for ten minutes and gradually meditate for more minutes. Start your day or
night by meditating. Use a meditation application to practice breathing slowly.
Consult with your primary doctor before you meditate, do walking meditation, do
Yoga, or do any other type of meditation. Here are websites about meditation
and diabetes.
