Meditation and Health

 

Transcendental Meditation
• Research on Meditation
• Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (Mahariṣi Maheś Yogī)

More than 600 scientific studies verifying the wide-ranging benefits of the Transcendental Meditation technique have been conducted at 250 independent universities and medical schools in 33 countries during the past 40 years.


Sudarshan Kriya
• Art of Living Foundation
• Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Several independent studies on the numerous mental and physical health benefits of Sudarshan Kriya have been published in international peer-reviewed journals and confirm what participants commonly report.


Meditation Research
• Sahaja Yoga
• Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Meditation is essentially a hypometabolic state with parasympathetic dominance – different from sleep – that elicits physical and mental calm and has been reported to enhance psychological balance and emotional stability....

... To our knowledge Sahaja Yoga Meditation is the only Meditation technique that teaches the practitioner to achieve the state of mental silence on a regular, daily basis.


Natural Stress Relief Meditation
• David Spector

Fabrizio Coppola, head of the Scientia Institute in Italy, has performed electroencephalograph studies and galvanic skin response studies (see typical graph of GSR at left) on practitioners of Natural Stress Relief© that show dramatic physiological effects from this form of deep meditation. NSR© leads the mind and body to a unique state of restful alertness that improves many areas of life through the systematic elimination of abnormality and stored stress.

• Dhyanyogi Omdasji

Meditators who use the Divine Sound for meditation have reported the following effects of the Divine Sound:

  • Relaxation of mind and body

  • Some cases of healing of heart diseases, diabetes and obesity
  • Calm thinking and a positive attitude

  • Awaken your intuition

Ultra Meditation
• Dane Spotts

The difficulty with traditional meditation practices is it takes years of concentrated effort to train your brain to redirect its energy into optimal patterns. But there is a way to access higher states of consciousness, without being an expert in meditation. A way to drive your brain into an altered state-automatically, at the push of a button. If you’re skeptical, I understand. However, I wouldn't ask you to make this leap of faith without proving it to yourself and basing your answers on actual personal experience. That's why the Ultra Meditation™ 5-Level Transcendence System was developed.


HemiSync
• Robert A. Monroe

When I play Metamusic, not only do I achieve a meditative state much more quickly, but I feel as if my meditation is more profound than it is when I don't have this soft, unobtrusive yet supportive background. Without Hemi-Sync it generally takes me about seven minutes to get into a meditative state. With Hemi-Sync it takes about two minutes for me to get markedly deeper than I otherwise go.


Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine
• Herbert Benson, M.D.

... Dr. [Herbert] Benson was approached by young practitioners of Transcendental Meditation who asked him to study their blood pressure. They believed they had lower blood pressures as a result of their meditation practice. This type of study was virtually unheard of at the time, but he did consent, after much deliberation. Robert Keith Wallace and Dr. Benson measured metabolism, blood pressure, heart rate, brain waves, and rate of breathing – both when the subjects sat quietly for 20 minutes and when they meditated for 20 minutes. And what they found was striking.

Through the simple act of changing their thought patterns, the subjects experienced decreases in their metabolism, rate of breathing and heart rate, and had slower brain waves.
