Science Articles on the Benefits of Meditation, from Minding the Bedside
Published: Tue, 09/25/12
Here Are Links to PDFs on Research into the Benefits of Meditation
Hello -- I hope that this note finds you well, enjoying life and taking all that life gives you as an opportunity to...practice meditation!
I've been doing searches on research into meditation and have come across a bunch of great articles that I want to share with you. For those of us in the "Western" state of mind, having access to published data on the benefits of meditation can help to remove some of the doubts that we may have about whether meditation can really help us or not.
I'm going to share just a few of these PDFs with you and if you like them, please feel free to share them with others. If you'd like additional PDFs, please let me know. Also, please let me know if there are topics that you'd like to see covered on the site, Minding the Bedside.
One thing, many of these articles have been retrieved from medical or research journals and the language can be a bit "scientific." For those of you who like that sort of thing, read on! For those of you who aren't able to sift through all of the scientific language, try going to the discussion, summary or conclusion portion of the article. It's in these sections that the results are often summarized and I find them more easy to understand.
Please, feel free to share these articles with others who may be interested in the research into the positive effects of meditation on health and wellness.
The Indiegogo campaign to relaunch the book, Minding the Bedside, and to create an entire site devoted to content is up and running. I'm asking everyone to please take time to visit the campaign, share it with those who may be interested, and contribute if you're able to. It's through this effort that I'm hoping to be able to continue to keep the site and blog running and to continue to give you great content.
Thank you all for your interest in meditation and for your support of this site.
May all that you do in life be met with immeasurable success and may all that you do bring benefit to others.
