Meditation, The Way to Better Health

Meditation is one of the main ways of “re-connection”, to calm the disorder of the mind and enhance our own qualities, “divine.” Furthermore, as a direct result, brings many benefits to our health, both physically and emotionally and mentally.
Previous studies have proven “empirically” its beneficial action on hypertension, cancer and even about the side effects from treatment of such chronic diseases, including AIDS.
A few years ago that is becoming more obvious the need to stop viewing the human body as a “single entity”, traditional medicine has chosen to take a broader, more complete human being, and in all its dimensions.
That stress, tension and negative thinking are great enemies of our health is not new. Although hard to admit, sometimes we are the architects of our own health, whether good or bad. Both from a conscious point of view as, in many cases also more difficult to detect, unconscious.
One of the most common or accessible in the Western world entering this maetrÃa of meditation is through yoga. A study that was published some time in the Gazette of Medicine Association of the United States concluded that those patients who practiced this discipline earning profits on disease control, among whom were diabetes, arthritis or chronic stress tables.
Either way and despite not suffering from any serious disorder, yoga and meditation are ideal tools to stay calm, attentive and focused, and to prevent precisely this type of disease.
Another area in which meditation is often helpful is in reference to the care of heart, constant psychological stress is one of the clearest indicators of risk of cardiac complications, as assured by researchers at the Mayo Clinic (U.S. ).
Also, a study that conducted the Harvard Medical School (USA) revealed that heart attack victims who learn to remain calm during emotional conflicts halved the risk of having another similar episode.
The Heart Association of the United States, meanwhile, advises patients who suffer from hypertension treatment to complement conventional techniques of meditation. A study supported by this institution found that those who meditated at least twice a day for twenty minutes each session, managed to significantly reduce blood pressure.
More evidence: as other work done by researchers at the Faculty of Medicine, Morehouse University, Atlanta (USA), and presented at the XV International Interdisciplinary Conference on Hypertension and Risk Factors among Ethnic Groups held in Puerto Rico, meditation sessions have a positive impact on blood pressure, helping to normalize levels.
