Abstract :
Every athlete would agree that energy is a key ingredient to success in sport. Food, restful sleep, breath and meditation are the four sources of energy.The amount of energy gained from meditation is greater than that from sleep with 20 minutes of meditation equal to 8 hours of deep sleep.. Meditation isn't just for monks seeking enlightenment--------the athletes can also benefit from the practice. The improved concentration, relaxation and endurance that result from meditation help athletes of all ages excel. . The physical training can helps to get the most out of your body, deep meditation gets the most out of the mind, which many top level athletes feel is much more important. Some meditation techniques even involve combining sport exercises and meditation to reach higher states of consciousness. When done regularly, meditation can greatly improve your athletic performance by ‘tuning’ the body to peak at just the right time. An athlete that "doesn't have his head on straight" can rarely perform in a manner that will prove successful.
