Can Meditation Extend One's Life?

Can meditation actually extend one's life for the longer? According to the

findings of some very recent studies conducted at five different medical centers

and univerisities across the country on 202 test patients. Transcendental

meditation performed by these chosen subjects twice a day for twenty minutes

actually had a 23% lower death rate overall.


All test patients had a prior history of high blood pressure for a long period

of time. Transcendental meditation doesn't only alleviate stress and other

key risk factors attributed to the onset and development of hypertension and

heart disease. But it also promotes a general sense of fine health and inner

peace that we all need in our lives.


Because it does nothing but good for one's life. Meditation can surely

lengthen one's life. From this study, researchers have learned that meditation

is excellent for both the mind and body, as well as the whole being per se.


The results of this study can be found in the American Journal of Cardiology

and was funded by the National Institute of Good Health.
