I recently read an article from ABC News, ” Say Om: Doctors Find Meditation Affects Your Body.” This article has good research to suggest some wonderful finding about how great meditation is for us. It is written from allopathic view, which I find very inspiring.
Researchers for the study, published in the Public Library of Science, took blood samples from a group of 19 people who habitually meditated or prayed for years, and 19 others who never meditated. The researchers ran genomic analyses of the blood and found that the meditating group suppressed more than twice the number of stress-related genes — about 1,000 of them — than the non meditating group.
The article is a great testament to show that our minds are more effected by what we think then we originally realized.
Indeed, fellow mind-body researchers are finding more evidence that meditation and spiritual practices can influence the body in elemental ways. “In the old days, we thought the mind didn’t affect the body,” Benson said. “In truth, it’s breaking down the very old rule.”
