Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Dear Group, I have been reading my email and found this excerpt from an interesting article on Meditation in Dr.Mercola's Newletter: ******************************** Research has shown that meditation can be useful for a variety of ailments including: Stress, tension, anxiety and panic High blood pressure Chronic pain Headaches Respiratory problems such as emphysema and asthma Sleep disturbances Gastrointestinal distress Fatigue Skin disorders Mild depression Premenstrual syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome People who have mastered meditation often say they have increased mental abilities and need to visit a doctor less often than before they began to meditate. Studies have even shown that meditation can reduce or reverse cardiovascular disease and improve the ability to cope with chronic illness. *********************************** It sounds pretty good to me. I like to do a " walking meditation " , but I know many people enjoy a brief " seated meditation " . However you do it, the research seems to show that it is beneficial for many things. I have never heard that meditation has ever been implicated in making a person ill, so it probably wouldn't hurt to try it if you haven't already. Have a great weekend, Everyone!
