Another study confirms it: Meditation really works!

“Scientists can finally prove what Buddhists have sworn by for centuries – mediation really does sharpen and clear the brain,” reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

The article, published July 9, details research at the Flinders Medial Centre’s Centre for Neuroscience, in which scientists measured the electrical activity of the brain in a group of people as they moved from simple eye-closed resting through the five stages of meditation as defined in Buddhist teachings.

Not surprisingly, the study found that spending time in the alpha brainwave state improves concentration and alertness.

    Thank you John! I am a novice at meditation, and am happy to know the benefits are now proven…I think I’ll add meditation to my early afternoon schedule instead of just in the mornings..to help kick that braindead feeling I tend to get just after lunch. Funny how reading your blog gave me that idea. You’re awesome!

    I love my daily meditation. It’s like going on a holiday trip within myself and it also increases my sleepquality at night.
    Kind regards, Di

    Meditation also works on anti-aging and health. Yogis are known for their superior health and slow aging process. I am always mistaken for being 20 years younger. Deep meditation, in my opinion, is similar to hibernation, relaxing not only the brain, but all the other organs - letting our whole system rejuvenate. And studies I have read have shown we can actually change our DNA.

    Thank you,John,for this article on meditation. Holding the “why” I meditate and listening to morning holosync despite resistance,I then registered on your blog for the first time since beginning the Having It All program. Reading this article reinforced why I practice. Thank you.

    Thank you John for sharing your Life and your experiences with us. I love your HIA book and have even gotten the CD version to let is work into my brain during commutes. My question is: Can you describe how you yourself meditate? I have yet to find the best way for me and am trying to find out how people do it. many thanks - Kevin
