Is Meditation the push-up for the brain?

       Every one speak to do meditation for relaxation. But the person who suggest you to do the meditation may not be aware of what exactly medtation is and and how to do it. As a follower of "Art of Living "i suggest to Join Art of Living courses and definitely you will experience what really a meditaiton is.No doubt in our routine stressfull life it is very helpfull scientifically without any doubt. It is my personel experience.Go to website artofliving.org  and find a centre nearby. Plz do it your sake.

Mind is a bigger and complex entity and is different from brain although it works from there... But in all, the process of balance can be achieved through meditation if done scientifically...!!

Meditation is “quieting of the mind.” However, quieting the mind is very difficult. But, with  practice we can achieve. One minute of daily meditation is better than no meditation at all.  

When we stop thought, we have access to the creative energy of our life source. Some mystics say that silence is the voice of God. But when they say “silence” they mean the silence of our thoughts, not just of the world around us.

Meditating on a daily basis allows you to clear away the stress and tension that occurs each and every day of our lives. Recently there has been research which shows that meditation can help people who are suffering from hypertension. The medical community recognizes that untreated hypertension puts people at a much higher risk for heart disease, and strokes. By meditating, people are able to reduce the tension in their lives and this has been shown to help reduce their blood pressure.

Meditation helps you to achieve a deeper communication with your inner spiritual self and gain a new insight into your own personality.

Meditation also allows you to release the daily negative influences by trying to rationalize other people's beliefs and applying them to yourself. Meditation can also allow you to develop your intuition.

Meditation is not an escape from this world, it is not an activity meant to isolate us. It is instead, a way to understand the world and its ways.

yes ofcourse, this is the best way to keep mind and body fit.

Thanks,Sulagna and I agree with you

The meditation can control your mind and body. While doing work and thinking of work for whole day, the brain feels unrest and may lead to number of wrong decisions. But, if we take time out and concentrate for sometime in meditation, it will create balance between body and mind for good works. I agree with Mr. Rao, but go for meditation for sometimes to avoid excess work and thinking.
