medical and scientific research on Meditation: medical and scientific studies that sought to identify the positive results of meditation on the body and its effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Meditation has a long history among mankind, but in the Western world it has only recently become known.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And, although the act of meditation is mentioned in biblical texts on several occasions, this ancient practice aroused interest mainly as a result of interest in the religious forms of the East, such as Hinduism and Buddhism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Since the 1960s, meditation has become increasingly known and practiced by diverse groups in society.\u00a0 The growing interest in Meditation gave reason for it be studied in medical centres and universities, as an efficient resource for balancing health and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Why is the practice of meditation <\/strong><strong>booming<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">Medical-scientific research on Meditation was driven by the rise in the practice of this technique in the Western world.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The reasons that stimulate this great receptivity to meditation among us are directly connected with the psychic and emotional wear and tear of life, with the unrestrained pace of life in the big cities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">However, it should not be surprising that it was thanks to certain changes in attitudes that conventional medicine began to recommend the practice of meditation.\u00a0 Over the past few decades, scientists have changed their perception of sickness and health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/old.gnosis.is\/en\/blog\/2020\/05\/16\/meditation-is-a-path-to-the-light\/\">Meditation is a path to the light<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>A cardiologist&#8217;s research<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">This is the story told by, for example, the American cardiologist Herbert Benson, who is recognized as one of the first doctors to devote himself to the subject, as early as the 1970s.\u00a0 In 2000, his 1975 book, The Relaxation Response, was reissued.\u00a0 At the time, Benson recalled that it was almost a heresy to claim that emotional reactions, such as anxiety or stress, could cause or aggravate organic diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">His path in the study of meditation began with a question about the mind-body relationship.\u00a0 He was uncomfortable with the fact that certain physiological examinations, for example, when assessing the heartbeat, could be disturbed simply because his patients were nervous in the medical office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">In her quest to better understand that relationship, he teamed up with Dr. Robert Keith Wallace, a physiologist at the University of California.\u00a0 Wallace already had published material on a meditation technique called &#8220;Transcendental Meditation&#8221;.\u00a0 Basically, it consists of relaxing the body in a comfortable position and pronouncing a mantram, for about 15 to 20 minutes, twice a day.\u00a0 The mantra would be a phrase with a positive meaning for the practitioner, for example, &#8220;I am calm&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">They carried out research together on the physiological effects of different meditation techniques on people who had different levels of experience in the practice of meditation.\u00a0 And they discovered that, in all of them, the daily practice of this exercise led the practitioners to maintain a stable metabolic rate, and also their breathing and heartbeat calm and stable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">In their evaluation, they observed that the different meditation techniques could generate states of balance and tranquility greater than sleep, since the latter can have intervals of discomfort.\u00a0 The results were published in an article: &#8220;Physiology of Meditation&#8221;, from the <em>Scientific<\/em> <em>American<\/em> magazine.\u00a0 &#8220;This article opened the doors so that a dozen other studies could be developed in different universities around the world&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1800 aligncenter\"

#000000\">In addition to the above, Dr. Benson founded the Mind\/Body Medical Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.\u00a0 For more than 40 years, this doctor has been demonstrating the considerable improvement in the quality of life of people who practice meditation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Among the findings of these decades of medical research is the fact that the benefits of meditation last for hours.\u00a0 They remain after exercise is over and thus provide an overall improvement in your health.\u00a0 Furthermore, it has been proven that the metabolic alterations that occur during meditation generate hormonal alterations.\u00a0 And also in the electrical brain waves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Jon Kabat Zinn was another American doctor and researcher who helped break down the barriers that relegated meditation to the field of mysticism, and made it known as a public health resource and instrument.\u00a0 Zinn, who is Jewish, learned to meditate when he was still a student, at a conference given by Buddhist, Philip Kaplan, in 1965.\u00a0 When he became a doctor, he began teaching meditation to his patients, seeking to lessen the physical and emotional pain during treatments.\u00a0 He achieved such positive results that he founded the Stress Mitigation Clinic in 1979.\u00a0 He wanted to introduce meditation without the religious garb of Buddhism.\u00a0 Kabat Zinn coined the term <em>mindfulness<\/em>.\u00a0 Thanks to this, it has become widespread in the West.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">This practice has a typical characteristic of Buddhism: placing the attention in the here and now.\u00a0 To perceive all the manifestations that are processed in the body or in the environment, without being carried away by thoughts related to these.\u00a0 All this, keeping the attention only on the present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">More recently, in 2009, a group of California researchers conducted a series of high-resolution magnetic resonance exams to study the brains of those who practice meditation.\u00a0 They found that certain regions of the brains of people who meditate were much more developed than the corresponding parts of the brains of non-meditators.\u00a0 The results showed that the areas of the hippocampus, the orbital-frontal cortex and the thalamus were considerably larger when it came to meditation practitioners.\u00a0 These areas are related to emotion and attention.\u00a0 This shows that:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Practicing meditation on an ongoing basis enables its practitioners to develop skills to better regulate their emotions, as well as their concentration.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color:

practice<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">These are just some of the many investigations that were developed with the instruments of Western science, strongly empiricist, which have demonstrated the benefits of meditation for health.\u00a0 This list could be even longer if we consider the discoveries related to the positive effects on the immune system.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Also, in the glandular and hormonal secretion by means of simple exercises as those taught by Gnosis.\u00a0 Either through practices with mantrams, vocalizations, or practices to keep the attention focused on a single point, which can be the heart, the breath, a flower, a candle or a piece of classical music.\u00a0 These studies still need to go beyond the health benefits of meditation and to understand to the contribution it makes to be able to know reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><\/p>\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n<p style=\"text-align:
