Emily Fletcher (founder of Ziva Meditation) presents a short YouTube talk outlining three surprising benefits of meditation—better sleep, improved sex, and increased productivity. She explains how meditation reduces stress (making sleep more restorative and improving sexual function by lowering cortisol/adrenaline) and frees cognitive resources for higher productivity. The clip ends with a brief personal introduction (she has taught meditation for about five years) and an invitation to a paid masterclass.

So some of the most surprising benefits of meditation are better sleep, better sex, and increased productivity. When a lot of people hear the word meditation, they think it's going to turn them into a monk floating in a cave, vibrating and levitating. And that's not true at all. There's different styles of meditation that do different things for different people. And the style that I teach is designed to be integrated into daily life. So the way that it helps with your sleep is that you start to use the meditation as a time for stress release. So you can actually start to use your sleep as a time for sleep. And the way that impacts sex is interesting. So when women get stressed, if they have too much cortisol in their body, they become physically incapable of orgasm. And when men have too much adrenaline in their body, they become physically incapable of erection, which does not equal a good sex life. Plus, the more present you are, the better your sex is going to be. And the reason why meditation helps with productivity is that stress makes you stupid. When you're stressed, your body and your brain are preparing for an imaginary predatory attack, and that's disallowing you from performing at the top of your game. So we utilize the meditation to get rid of stress in the body. We have all of our energy for the task at hand, which allows us to perform at the top of our game. I'm Emily Fletcher.
