Studies of the brain waves of meditators show that they are apparently healthier. Neuroscientists found that meditators transfer their brain activity from one area of the cortex to another. Their brain waves in the stress inclined right frontal cortex moved to the calmer left frontal cortex. This indicates that they are calmer and happier than before. There was also less activity in the part of the brain that processes fear.

 5 Benefits of Meditation:

• Decreases negative effects of stress & anxiety
• Improves self-esteem
• Improves concentration
• Reduces muscle tension
• Reduces depression
 
A study at the University of Massachusetts Medical School recorded the brain waves of stressed employees of a high-tech firm in Madison, Wisconsin. The subjects were split randomly into two groups…25 people were invited to learn meditation over eight weeks, and the remaining 16 were left alone as a control group. Every participant had their brain waves scanned three times during the study…at the beginning of the experiment, when the meditation lessons were finished eight weeks later and four months after that. The researchers found that the meditators showed an obvious shift in activity to the left frontal lobe of their brains. In other words, they were calmer and happier than before.

 Treatment for Insomnia?

Like many people who meditate, you may find that you have greater self-esteem, self-confidence and inner peace. You might find you can concentrate more easily and your ability to learn and remember improves. It’s no surprise that practicing meditation, with its effects of quieting your mind and relaxing your body, has been found to be an effective treatment for insomnia. Several studies have already shown that regular meditation results in higher blood levels of melatonin, a hormone that plays a critical role in the regulation of sleep.

P.S. If you’d like help in learning meditation or want to be inspired to practice it regularly, consider my Qi Gong Meditation CD. How would you like to be stress free, feel happier, more relaxed and energetic? These are just a few of the miracles that people who have used my meditation program experience on a regular basis.
