Repetitive in nature, knitting movements slow the heart rate, lower blood pressure and produces a relaxation response. When you want to slow down and make a stop to breathe and think about life differently, opt for hand knitting.

You can also adopt knitting as a meditation. If you’re dealing with catastrophic illnesses, knitting has restorative powers to help you overcome the condition. It’s also a conduit to pray and unblock creative lulls.
