The question that almost all is with all possible meditation: will you really get more health and well -being if you have meditation? Steven Hackman, a brainwashing teacher, solved the question from a scientific (and practical) point of view.
Q: I keep hearing that science has proved the benefits of meditation. Is this a complete accurate statement? Does research show that, in such a way that is objectively measuring, your welfare will increase if you meditate?
A: Science cannot show anything exactly, especially when it comes to human experience. It is not to affect the value of science, but to note its limits. Science strives to predict the results in the future based on past observations. Meditation is a huge and growing institution of research, which shows that the difficulties are good that meditation exercises usually have a greeting and positive impact on someone who regularly acts on it.
But science works with statistics and possibilities, usually about groups, so that what happens for 80 % of the population, for example, is not translated on the occasion of 80 % that you will experience. Statistics can be misleading. If you roll the dye five times and each time it comes as 5, when you die again, what else do you have for 5? Like all other times: 1 in 1.
Therefore, keeping the data lessons aside, we all know that life is uncertain. Meditation is the same, but research suggests that some methods and programs are measured, and in some cases, things like mood, well -being and self -sympathy have a clearly observing positive effect on others.
My suggestion would be to allow this science to be a skeptic, which means that the practice should be discovered with open, curious mind that has left conceptual concepts.
Back to your question: If you do meditation, will your welfare increase? My suggestion would be to allow this science to be a skeptic, which means that the practice should be discovered with open, curious mind that has left conceptual concepts. As I want to tell my students: Don’t take my word for anything. Let your experience become your leader.
