The benefits of meditation
Course details and costs
Meditation is a very important way to reverse the ageing process - Deepak Chopra
Meditation triggers the Relaxation Response. This is a deeply relaxed state in which healing and repair of the body take place.
Meditation has been proved to have many benefits for physical health and mental well-being. These include slowing of the ageing process, pain reduction and improved sleeping patterns.
Meditation has also been shown to balance the emotions, improve people's ability to cope with stress, increase creativity and promote feelings of well-being.
Blue Cross Shield Insurance Study in the US in 1986 on the benefits of meditation
This study based on 2,000 meditators in Iowa showed that they were much healthier than the American population as a whole in 17 major areas of serious disease, both mental and physical. For example, the meditation group was hospitalised 87% less often than non-meditators for heart disease and 50% less often for all kinds of tumours. There were equally impressive reductions in disorders of the respiratory system, the digestive tract, clinical depression and so forth.
