Meditative practices were developed thousands of years ago, in countries like Tibet, China, and India. The various practices made their way West and eventually grabbed the interest of mind-body enthusiasts and psychologists. Today, meditation is gaining ground as perhaps the best overall non-medical practice for self-development and promotion of well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent research from Harvard shows that practicing meditation regularly for as little as eight weeks can cause beneficial physiological structural changes in the brain\u2019s grey matter. This is important because most of the brain\u2019s neural cell bodies are found within grey matter, which itself encompasses regions of the brain that effect sensory perception (sight and sound), muscle control, memory, emotions, auditory functions and how we make decisions and apply self-control. In other words, this is amazing proof of the power of meditation to positively affect almost every aspect of your well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stress is a slow and silent killer. Pent up anger and frustration and anxiety wreak havoc on the body and mind, stealing joy and happiness from daily life and shortening life span. When we hold onto stress and tension it can lead to feelings of depression, but today\u2019s exercise \u2014 an easy breathing exercise and stretch combination \u2014 will help alleviate that. It only takes a few minutes and can be done in your office, at home or at the park. Just a few moments of self-care can relieve stress and make your days much better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yoga and meditation practices have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, to quiet the mind and slow the breath, and to prolong quality of life. All of this, and more, is presented in this little gem of a book by my good friend, Datu Shishir Inocalla.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the book Orasyon Meditation<\/em><\/a>, which I am proud to bring back into print as a Tambuli Media edition, Datu Shishir merges his vast experience in Indian Yoga and Filipino Orasyon meditation into a program for developing as a peaceful warrior in mind, body and spirit. –Dr. Mark Wiley<\/span><\/p>\n
