Documented Benefits Of Meditation

Prior to the scientific technology that enabled the scientific community to validate the numerous benefits that meditation provides and their ability to actually measure and document the changes in brain wave activity, practitioners have always claimed dramatic increases in awareness as well as a heightened sense of deep peace and "inner knowingness."

Meditation has become a fast growing alternative for millions worldwide and has proven to provide practitioners with not only numerous positive personal benefits both spiritually and physically but provides additional benefits that extend far beyond the individual as well.

There have been more than 600 scientific studies conducted at 200 independent universities and institutions in 35 countries which have been published in over 100 leading scientific journals concerning the IMMENSE BENEFITS of Meditation. It has become very evident and clearly documented that meditation provides substantial benefits in EVERY area of life: physiological, psychological, sociological, and ecological.

In fact, recent research at Harvard and other Ivy League universities has established that meditation, in addition to guaranteeing a greatly enhanced sense of calm and well-being and a broad range of other spiritual benefits, actually increases the pre-frontal cortex of your brain, the part of the brain responsible for positive emotions. In addition to that, people who meditate show dramatic increases in "whole-brain thinking" and learning providing far greater comprehension ability and dramatically increased retention of various types of data received.

The findings in each area of scientific study have been replicated many times, and through meta-analyses, which are the most quantitatively rigorous means to review a body of research, have found a high degree of consistency with regard to the numerous benefits that meditation provides. Studies using the most sophisticated, rigorous research methodologies designed to prove causality have strongly verified and extended preliminary findings. This demonstrates that the Foundation Guided Meditation System actually can and will cause the wide range of positive changes in mental potential, health, social behavior, and the surroundings.

For those that have practiced and personally experienced the numerous benefits that meditation provides, no scientifically validated research is necessary although it does serve to further validate in a physical sense what practitioners as well as the most insightful and enlightened spiritual masters have claimed and taught for thousands of years.
