In research for health development through a process of meditation, the result is they are long meditation therapy, capable of overcoming a variety of diseases and the body's ability to capitalize mind. At a high level practitioners of the healing ability can even be done with the intention or the will of the brain and run pranayama (breathing)
Tim, a study funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine blood flow in brain regions related to focus and calm on all participants in this study. The volunteers in the study were asked to practice meditation exercise for 2 weeks with a practitioner guided. Meanwhile, other volunteers to practice health exercises every day for 2 weeks as well.
The study found differences between the two groups obtained somewhat different results. Similarity is there an increase in stamina and endurance of the two groups of volunteers after undergoing these tests "This suggests that the practice of meditation and regular exercise can improve physical capacity, especially for health," said Adreas one researcher told journalists. "It's just that we find, in those who do practice meditation and physical abilities immune significantly improved, coupled with the ability of achieving inner peace and a sharp mind, and this does not happen if someone just practicing regular exercise,"
Zen meditation is the practice to focus consciously, and concentrates on his way of breath, and it is this focus that helps the mind to release the mind from disturbing thoughts that try to get into the brain, a practitioner of Zen meditation were able to control his mind and hands of an impact on life and health. Stress was very influential on health, with meditation stress level can be minimized and this contributes to health.
A recent research indicates, doing mindfulness meditation (meditation mindfullness) although only a few moments each day can improve brain health.
As published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Yi-Yuan Tang and Michael Posner, the two scientists who observed the focus of mental illness, revealed that practicing meditation for 11 hours (even for beginners) have a positive effect on the brain, improve connectivity and efficiency.
"The physical changes are obvious short-term shows that meditation can improve self-control, mood (mood), stress and immunity," said Posner, a professor emeritus from the University of Oregon, Eugene.
Tang, research fellow, has previously developed a meditation technique called the integrative body-mind training (IBMT) in the mid 1990's that are based on traditional Chinese medicine, namely Taoism, and Confucianism. Unlike other meditation techniques that focus on mind control and long-term training needs. This technique actually focuses on awareness of body and mind, such as posture and breathing. According to Tang, with the help of a proper instructor, a person can learn these techniques in just five days.
In his study, researchers enrolled 68 students Dalian University of Technology of China were recruited randomly. Participants IBMT meditation technique, which involves focused concentration, or relaxation training group. None of the students had previous training in meditation. Students meditate for about half an hour a day for a month.
Focused on the meditation group, the researchers looked at changes in white matter in a part of the brain associated with self-regulation, or commonly called the anterior cingulate cortex. White matter changes in the brain occurs even though the class was doing meditation in a short time. While the changes do not occur in a focus group-oriented training in relaxation.
Researchers said further study is necessary to do a variety of mental disorders sepertiattention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, schizophrenia and personality disorders, are also associated with problems in the brain called the anterior cingulate cortex.
A separate study published last year found that people who participate in a meditation program for eight weeks experienced a change in brain regions associated with memory, self-awareness, empathy, and stress.
