Opelousas, LA 22 January 2008 ( Pressabout ) – – Meditation is fast becoming a more widely endorsed treatment for conditions such as insomnia and anxiety, according to a new body of empirical research released today. Following on from the range of scientific research into the benefits of meditation and the positive psychological and physiological elements of the practice, many mainstream physicians are recommending that patients suffering from sleep depravation or nervous conditions undertake a process of meditation as a self-help remedy, which is helping the treatment win new fans the world over.
Having previously been seen as a purely alternative treatment, the move of meditation across the mainstream boundary appears to be justification enough of its medical merits, and with more and more physicians beginning to adopt and endorse the findings of research into the matter, it looks likely that meditation will continue to grow in popularity over the coming years.
David Rodgers from MeditationStore.net suggested that whilst the news may surprise many traditionalists, there has been a hardcore body of meditation fans for thousands of years to testify to the effectiveness of its healing properties.
“There is a voluminous amount of literature about meditation research and study that all points to the conclusion that it is beneficial for the human body, spirit and mind. What surprises me is that it has taken this long for medical science at a practitioner level to adopt treatment by meditation after people across the world have testified to its effectiveness for thousands of years on a spiritual and physical level.
The news follows recent high profile research from Harvard, Yale and MIT that found a correlation between brain size and meditation, leading to the conclusion that meditation can actually help increase the size of certain areas of the brain as compared to those that don’t meditate and have never done so.
“Our data suggest that meditation practice can promote cortical plasticity in adults in areas important for cognitive and emotional processing and well-being,” said top neurologist Dr. Sara Lazar, leader of this research project at Harvard University.
With the research into meditation and its effects on the brain ongoing, it’s not surprising that it’s finding favour throughout traditional medical circles, having received growing academic support and favour.
By linking meditation to the process of consciously controlling brain frequencies, it has been suggested that there is a clear physiological benefit to meditation in achieving greater relaxation and improving sleep.
