Health Benefits of Meditation

Boost Self-Awareness

Some types of meditation might help you establish a stronger understanding and awareness of yourself, thus boosting yourself. For instance, self-inquiry techniques are specially designed to develop self-awareness and how your self is related to surrounding factors. Other methods show you how to recognize thoughts that might be self-defeating or harmful. The basic idea is that when you have a better awareness of thought habits, you would direct them to more constructive cycles. Many meditation practitioners reported that their self-esteem was significantly improved after a few weeks of starting. [3]
