Stress triggers various physiological changes, disrupting hormones and causing symptoms like blood pressure fluctuations, headaches, and muscle tension. Prolonged stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels, inducing anxiety, irritability, and health issues such as high cholesterol and blood pressure. As stress persists, it can result in depleted energy levels and emotional instability. Dr. Grossman emphasizes the need to manage stress for optimal well-being. While sleep helps alleviate stress, meditation goes even deeper in releasing accumulated tension. Meditation&#8217;s calming effect allows the body to dissolve stress at a profound physiological level. Dr. Grossman encourages incorporating meditation into daily routines to experience lasting wellness benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guidelines for Effective Meditation &#8211; Dr. Michael Grossman<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An experienced meditation teacher, Dr. Michael Grossman provides insights into effective meditation practices.
