Balance your Mood with Meditation

"Happy hormones", namely serotonin and dopamine are chemical messengers which facilitate communication between nerve cells and are essential for emotional stability and general well-being of human body. Serotonin is linked to feelings of happiness, calmness, focus, controlling mood, digestion and sleep patterns. Dopamine plays a key role in goal-setting, motivation, reward, enjoyment, and productivity. A natural way of promoting mental health is through balancing these chemicals via proper exercise, nutrition, sunlight, enough sleep, and positive social interaction. Imbalances of these neurotransmitters in the body can result in anxiety, depression, aggressiveness, ADHD, and schizophrenic disorders.
