Health Hint - Meditate For Life

Here is a Helth Hint on Meditation from the August 2011 issue of Black Belt magazine.

Meditate For Life by Jason Brick

An 18-year study of seniors found that regular meditation lowers overall death rates by 23 percent and death rates from heart disease and cancer by more than 30 percent.  The same study suggests meditation can help lower blood pressure and speed healing.  Although no formal studies have been conducted, meditation seems to help relieve stress, foster personal relationships and lead to a better quality of life.

Breathing and walking meditation, mindfulness, positive visualization - no matter what you call it, it's as important to real-world survival as your physical skills are.  If you training doesn't include formal meditation, consider seeking out instruction on your own.  Better yet, help your sensei find someone who can teach it in-house.

Wow. I never considered meditation before as a form of treatment in any kind of disease. But knowing this, I guess I now have a reason to try it soon. Thanks!
