Synopsis
Meditation has been valued in the East for centuries as beneficial to physical, mental, and spiritual health. Now, Western medicine, through research-based studies performed in medical schools, universities, hospitals, and research labs, also is recognizing the efficacy of meditation for improving wellness. This groundbreaking book offers proven benefits of meditation for reducing stress-related ailments, such as cancer, stroke, heart, breathing, digestive, and circulatory problems, hypertension, migraines, depression, anxiety, and addictions; improving brain function and performance; managing pain; and achieving balance. Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, in his keynote article, provides clear and compelling support for the value of meditation for the health of the spirit, upon which the health of the body and mind are based. Noted medical doctors, cancer researchers, psychiatrists, psychologists, chiropractors, brain researchers, neuroscientists, and those involved in alternative medicine have contributed articles rich in evidence supporting meditation as a complementary treatment modality. Meditation as Medication for the Soul is a must-read book for anyone seeking optimum health. Latent within each person is a spiritual energy that has the power to make us whole. The technique by which we can tap into this latent power is meditation. Once touched by this inner force we undergo a profound transformation. We experience improved health of the body, mind, heart, and soul. Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj
