Meditation

I know that this blog is primarily about herbs and plants ~ but since I've been writing about sickness and immunity, I couldn't discount the positive effects of meditation on the immune system.

At the same time and in the same place every day ~ sit in a relaxed position and try to clear your mind. If thoughts arrive, just let them pass on by. It will help by choosing a mantra to say to yourself while in this position and to listen to your deep breathing. A mantra can be as simple as an "om" or it can be a simple phrase ~ a positive affirmation.

Do this for at least 5 minutes each day to improve your immune system and to raise your spirits.
