Why Meditation Is The Key To Loving Yourself & Reaching Your Healthy Weight

We know that meditation can help with many things, from reducing stress to improving concentration.

But there’s one big benefit of a regular meditation practice that’s often overlooked: how it assists with self-image and weight loss.

As a yoga teacher and wellness expert, I found that there were many people who were doing “all the right things” in terms of health, but still weren’t feeling their best or reaching their healthy weight. I noticed that the two common denominators standing in their way were a high stress level and their self-concept.

I started using meditation with many of these patients, and when they finally started seeing success, I realized just how important mindfulness is to a holistic health plan.

This last one is often the hardest to explain in scientific terms, but in my experience it’s often the most important. If you’ve been overweight for more than even just a few weeks, your view of yourself actually changes along with your body shape.
