Meditation is a personal Journey of Discovery It is generally an internal, personal practice and done without any external involvement. A personal journey for inner enlightenment. Individuals report they experience more enjoyment and appreciation of life and their relationships with others have improved. Meditation produces a state of deep relaxation and a sense of balance or equanimity. This insight offers you the possibility of feeling more confident and in control of your life. Meditation facilitates a greater sense of calmness, empathy and acceptance of self and others. Since the 1960s, meditation has been the focus of increased research into the benefits of this technique upon the mind and body. In over 1,000 published reports, it has shown various methods of meditation have been linked to positive changes in metabolism, blood pressure, functionality of the brain and other bodily processes. A report commissioned in the late 90's by the National Institute of Health on alternative medicine concluded: 'More than 30 years of research as well as the experience of a large number of individuals and health care providers shows meditation and similar forms of relaxation can lead to better health and lifestyle.' As you can see, research has been conducted for many years and the number of medical practitioners and counselors suggesting meditation today is growing as an alternative to engaging prescription drugs for common stress related symptoms.
