In 2009 I will be celebrating 30 years of meditation

There are a number of known health benefits coming with the practice of meditation, such as lower blood pressure, better blood circulation, a resting heart rate that is lower, and easier breathing. On top of that, many people say they have more energy than they have had in years when they meditate regularly, as well as a more youthful appearance.


There has also been many studies to analyse these benefits scientifically. Here is a small sample (see the link to the original description):

The study, done in China, randomly assigned college undergraduate
students to 40-person experimental and control groups. The experimental
group received five days of meditation training. The control group got
five days of relaxation training. Both groups took tests that assessed
their attention and reaction to mental stress before and after their
training.

The experimental group showed greater improvement than
the control to dealing with stress. Stress was induced by mental
arithmetic. Both groups initially showed elevated release of the stress
hormone cortisol following the math task, but after training, the
experimental group showed less cortisol release, indicating a greater
ability to cope with stress. The experimental group also showed lower
levels of anxiety, depression, anger and fatigue than the control group.

And the study was only for five days. Imagine people who have been meditating for many years.

Experiment it for yourself !

Myth buster

Many so-called followers of yoga and vedanta believe firmly that we are totally and eternally made of pure bliss : BUT TO SEEK HAPPINESS IS EVIDENCE OF THE LACK OF HAPPINESS

If we were eternally made of bliss we would never ever lack bliss

For some real ecology

The Only Diet for a Peacemaker Is a Vegetarian Diet

It is nice to hear a Catholic defending vegetarianism.

Today I joined an important blog written by Steven Rudolph : http://stevenrudolph.blogspot.com/.

He is one of the great pillars of jiva.com (see The Jiva Home Page), and a very good expert at presenting the essence of traditionnal vedic knowledge of india in a modern way.

Here is a part of his blog that I think describes his work nicely:

Here is an area where I think India will serve the US well (far better than as a destination for outsourcing)--helping to improve the quality of life by sharing a wealth of knowledge on the science of life, related to yoga, pranayam (breathing techniques), Ayurveda, meditation, etc. Such knowledge will help people find ways of balancing themselves physically, helping them get in tune with their bodies and to reduce stress and anxiety. It will help them stay healthy with inexpensive, natural healthcare, including herbal remedies and massage therapies. And spiritually, people will learn to find greater joy with what they already have in their lives rather than by acquiring more and more material goods.

Making this type of knowledge available in a current context with modern technology is Jiva's mission. We've been working for the past 14 years to create an array of tools, courses, and resources in the area of life-wellness based on Vedic wisdom. It seems that things are suddenly coming together--a tipping point of sorts, where our work may soon be of value to a much wider audience.

We're excited about the opportunity to share these assets and to be an active part of the balancing process. Get ready for some informative articles and videos in the coming days and weeks from Dr. Satya Narayna Dasa, Dr. Partap Chauhan, and our team members. In the meantime, let's remember:
