Using this energy called mind we have been able to search the deepest oceans, send humans to the moon and scan the molecular fabric of the building blocks of nature. But have we found our true self? We have become the most educated and civilized society in our history, but are we civil towards each other?

Meditation is also a safe and simple way to balance your physical, emotional, and mental state and more and more doctors are encouraging patients to practice meditation to cure many stress related illnesses. Everyday most of us experience stress in many different ways and I believe many people are simply not aware of how much stress we actually hold on to. One of the greatest positive effects of meditation is how it allows the body to distress. Normally life threatening situations trigger off the stress response which enables us to act without contemplation and deliberation and survive intense situations using fast…

    Yoga is a triumphant American survivor. Where other esoteric or foreign-born spiritual practices have veered off course, endured only in the margins of society, or failed altogether, yoga has thrived.

To begin with, a single trial focused on treating patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression (TRD) discovered: “by strengthening cognitive control mechanisms, meditation may lessen ruminative processes and thereby diminish depression” (qtd. in Eisendrath, 100). This information reveals that patients actively participating in mindfulness activities created their own defense-mechanism against depression itself. To demonstrate even further, patients continued their usual medication throughout the trial (102), but it was found there was no connection between the use of medication and meditation (108) meaning the factor that reduced depression severity in patients was the addition of meditative treatment (104). Overall, it can be interpreted that meditation does not only cure depressive symptoms, but gives patients the means to overcome their mental illness without the assistance of medication…

Once in the 'meditation process' you can then notice the business of your mind. Dont try and forget about or judge these thought, it is about observing them and about putting your mind in a different mode in which we just see our thoughts as a simple event not something that is taking over…

    Several health problems can occur in one’s body if it is placed under too much stress, such as depression, fatigue, acne, and obesity. Studies have also shown that reducing stress lowers a person’s chances of developing a physical or mental illness. Carol Anne Rizer, Mary Helen Fagan, Carol Kilmon, and Linda Rath have studied undergraduate college students to determine if mindfulness meditation can help people become more aware of their stress, and to help cope. Their findings have been placed in The Role of Perceived Stress and Health Belief’s on College Students’ Intentions to Practice Mindfulness Meditation.
