Press Release Summary: The practice of meditating is rapidly garnering the respect
of medical professionals and mainstream practitioners as an effective way to cure
and help patients with a number of psychological and physiological ailments,
according to new research released today.

Press Release Body: Opelousas, LA 22 January 2008 ( ExpressPressRelease ) - - href=http://www.meditationstore.net/>MeditationStore is fast becoming a more
widely endorsed treatment for conditions such as insomnia and anxiety, according to
a new body of empirical research released today. Following on from the range of
scientific research into the benefits of meditation and the positive psychological
and physiological elements of the practice, many mainstream physicians are
recommending that patients suffering from sleep depravation or nervous conditions
undertake a process of meditation as a self-help remedy, which is helping the
treatment win new fans the world over.

Having previously been seen as a purely alternative treatment, the move of
meditation across the mainstream boundary appears to be justification enough of its
medical merits, and with more and more physicians beginning to adopt and endorse the
findings of research into the matter, it looks likely that meditation will continue
to grow in popularity over the coming years.

David Rodgers from MeditationStore.net
suggested that whilst the news may surprise many traditionalists, there has been a
hardcore body of meditation fans for thousands of years to testify to the
effectiveness of its healing properties.

"There is a voluminous amount of literature about meditation research and study that
all points to the conclusion that it is beneficial for the human body, spirit and
mind. What surprises me is that it has taken this long for medical science at a
practitioner level to adopt treatment by meditation after people across the world
have testified to its effectiveness for thousands of years on a spiritual and
physical level.

The news follows recent high profile research from Harvard, Yale and MIT that found
a correlation between brain size and meditation, leading to the conclusion that
meditation can actually help increase the size of certain areas of the brain as
compared to those that don't meditate and have never done so.

\"Our data suggest that meditation practice can promote cortical plasticity in adults
in areas important for cognitive and emotional processing and well-being,\" said top
neurologist Dr. Sara Lazar, leader of this research project at Harvard University.

With the research into meditation and its effects on the brain ongoing, it's not
surprising that it's finding favour throughout traditional medical circles, having
received growing academic support and favour.

By linking meditation to the process of consciously controlling brain frequencies,
it has been suggested that there is a clear physiological benefit to meditation in
achieving greater relaxation and improving sleep.
