For many centuries, meditation has been an important part of different cultures or religions around the world

It is unfortunate that meditation has been hidden away in a shroud of mystery for so long, being associated with culture or religion

Yet, more and more scientists are
discovering the benefits of meditation
– not just of spiritual benefits, but the
more tangible benefits of the body
and mind.

Dr. Richard Davidson(A leading neuroscientist who studies meditation)
“What we have found is that the long time (meditation) practitioners showed brain activation on a scale we have never seen before. Their mental practice is having an effect on the brain in the same way golf
or tennis practice will enhance performance.”

Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn – 1985 Journal of Behavioural Medicine
A study was conducted by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn, where a group of people who suffered chronic pain, were asked to meditate for a period of ten weeks.
