You can think of it or not, but we leave in the mad world where everything is not like it was a just a couple of centuries ago. Our previous generations inhaled fresh air, enjoyed pure water and produced natural food. What do we have today? Having the same physiology as it was 4 or 5 generations ago modern humans lead crazy lives! We consume bad water and extremely harmful soft drinks, stuff our stomachs with junk food, inhale awful air and perceive constant urban noise around us. As for the emotional and nervous tension, it is absolutely intolerable. Our speed of life makes us be in a hurry round the clock, we are overworked and stressed in our family lives, we don’t have enough rest and sleep to do extra work and make our carriers. We never give a thought to the fact that our body requires some time to relax and restore, what is more, our head aches for some rest, too. Unfortunately, the main part of individuals realize the fact when they fall seriously ill. Don’t join them! Think ahead and try absolutely safe and highly effective practice known for centuries - meditation.

“Did it come to your mind that patients who meditate on a regular basis are more optimistic, healthier and enjoy longer life expectancy than those who don’t?” This utterance is rather natural today, but is it true or not?

What it meditation? It is a unique focusing practice where the major task is to suspend the normal whirl of thoughts filling the mind. There are all kinds and types of meditation. Maybe you will be stunned to hear that a prayer is also a pure meditation as it is. In addition to this kind of focusing familiar for all believers there are Transcendental Meditation, mindfulness meditation, Zen meditation, Buddhist meditation and Taoist meditation.

Meditation is the realm of complementary medicine that unlike conventional medicine it never forgets that personalities have more than a mere ill body. Meditation views individuals as unique creatures with an inseparable unity of intellect, body and soul. Meditation teachers realize that you cannot be healthy and content with your life if your brain is full of hate, anger and disappointment. The surprising fact is that more and more official doctors recommend their patients meditation as a way of managing many illnesses. With meditation you can:

- lower your blood pressure;
- improve the general state of personalities with angina including their exercise performance;
- let men and women with asthma breathe freely;
- forget about insomnia;
- relax after everyday disastrous day of life.

Meditation is a inherent activity for every human being, that is why it is up to you to decide where you will practice meditation. Some men and women choose to master meditation at home. It is very simple with all the instructional books and audio CDs available. Others prefer to learn from a good teacher.

With all its simplicity meditation can offer you numerous options. There are several approaches to meditation. Here are some tips for you how to meditate.

1. Concentrate on your breath - keep your attention on the sensation of the stream of air going in and out of your nostrils. This is so called “mindfulness meditation” - the meditator should learn to be “mindful”, i.e. aware of the present moment of time, but his or her consciousness should be free of any judgments and reactions.

2. Concentrate on your body - keep your attention on the feelings in your body: pain, warmth, discomfort, tension etc.

3. Focus on any word or phrase you like - keeping your attention on a word or phrase is called a “mantra”. Its general task is to keep your head free of any distracting thoughts.

It is wrong to believe that you should always sit during meditation. It is possible to lie down, to stand or even to walk. If for some reason sitting still is difficult for you, feel free to combine meditation with other practices such as yoga or tai chi - you will get double pleasure and positive effect!

The use of meditation for healing human body and soul is not new. All modern meditative techniques are the product of years and years of work and mental experiments of individuals around the world. The healing power of mediation has been known and applied for thousands of years. Its cornerstone is tradition and religion; its effect is health and inner harmony! To tell you the truth, all religious groups turn to meditation in one form or another.

No doubts of all the religions Buddhism is a “father of meditation” - it is the best known and the most practiced type of meditation in the world. Buddhists apply the practice of meditation for reaching real wisdom and compassion and for seing reality as it is. Buddha followers believe that our ordinary state of mind is very shallow - it is both limited and limiting. Meditation broadens human horizons and makes it possible to reveal our conscious and unconscious possibilities in full measure.

The sad fact is that in spite of its unique history and rich traditions, meditation has been unfairly ignored by the representatives of traditional medicine and only during the past three decades the medical science concentrated on the studies of clinical effects of meditation on health. The 1960s started with amazing medical reports of yogis and meditation masters from the mysterious East who could demonstrate extraordinary bodily control and could consciously stay in altered states of their minds - and this is where studies of self-regulation and voluntary control over the autonomic nervous system started! The squeamish scientific world was deeply shocked when refined scientific instrumentation proved that unbelievable things are possible! Now doctors specializing in stress-related disorders had a unique way of treatment without ruinous side effects typical for drug treatments - it was the art of meditation! It proved to be a valuable tool for stress reduction, and what is more, persons and physicians enjoyed both the process of healing meditation and the health benefits available with regular trainings!

But the biggest surprise was still to come! After some time of scientific investigation of meditation this activity turned out to be perfect not solely for changing the brain’s function in the short term. The medical facts demonstrated that regular practice of meditation produces a miraculous long-term positive effect! So, Transcendental Meditation in particular guarantees you a healthy state of relaxation including low heart and perspiration rates, decreased pulse rate, low concentration of cortisol in your blood (it is a major stress hormone) and high activity of the part of your brain responsible for rest and relaxation! Famous MD R. Keith Wallace investigating Transcendental Meditation found out that during meditation the body gets the most profound rest imaginable. Paradoxically, your brain and mind become clear and more alert - your reactions are faster, your creativity and efficiency is greater and your view of the world is broader!

As distinct from Transcendental Meditation, Taoists think that our emotions are governed by the Fire energy of the heart. When you cannot control your emotions, this fire energy flares upwards and burns your life energy and clouds your mind. But you can manage that! Your willpower, on the contrary, is controlled by the Water energy located in your kidneys. If you do not control this energy, it flows down through your sexual organs, weakening your spirit and dissipating your life. So, Taoists think that when you sit motionless doing nothing and thinking of nothing, i.e. when you are meditating your Fire and Water are in harmony. Water energy from the kidneys goes up to your head via the Central and Governing channels. At the same time Fire energy from the heart goes down into the Lower Elixir Field in the abdomen. By means of this right circulation of two energies and through this mental alchemy in the body your mind becomes calmer, cooler and more controllable, while your sexual energy becomes really enjoyable!

Meditation is probably one of the safest activities imaginable. It is great for patients of all ages and states of health. However, you should know that in men and women with bad psychiatric cases, there have been a few reports in which regular meditation has worsened the state of their mental health. If you have a psychiatric case, please, ask your mental health practitioner before starting the practice of meditation.

One more essential point - if you take meds on a regular basis never stop taking them before you have completed the course. The truth is meditation cannot give you stable relief immediately - in needs some time to work! If you cannot stand standing in line in the waiting room of your practitioner to get your prescription, find a trusted internet drugstore online where you can purchase medications without a rx legally. Take definite steps to make your life better right now! And let healing mediation be your reliable guide.
