There have been few efforts to study meditation with respect to health in more scientific ways. The aim is to measure the effects of meditation on somatic motor function as well as cardiovascular and respiratory function. Hermeneutic and phenomenological aspects of meditation are also studies in detail.
Meditation has been widely accepted as a method of stress and pain reduction.
A study way back in 1970’s showed transcendental meditation to affect the human metabolism by lowering the biochemical byproducts of stress, such as lactate (lactic acid), and by decreasing heart rate and blood pressure and inducing favorable brain waves.
Yoga and forms of meditation have been extensively used in healthful stress management in recent years. |
