The Purpose of Buddhist Meditation Is to Be Real
I often say when I teach meditation, "We meditate not just to be calm, but to be real."
Meditation has become quite popular in the West, and Buddhist teachers abound, but I wonder if we have yet learned this profound lesson well enough. The Buddha himself, beginning his spiritual pilgrimage, studied with many meditation teachers. For the most part, these teachers taught a type of meditation designed to induce calm, even trance. The young Siddhartha mastered all these techniques. He was so good that some of his teachers urged him to teach with them, but he was not satisfied. He had an intuition that these meditation practices, while deep, were but a temporary respite from the primal suffering of human existence, and that once one emerged from trance the suffering was still there. He left these teachers and vowed to look deeper.
As meditation is finding its way in the West and looking for authentic cultural roots, we are bound to re-enact Siddhartha's own search, re-discover his own disappointments and illuminations. As Kalu Rinpoche, one of the young Tibetan teachers (he is in his early 20s) said recently in a public gathering, "Dharma is reality." I thought this was quite profound, especially coming from one so young. He went on to explain that most religion, including Buddhism, offers an escape from reality, rather than a transforming insight about it. But Dharma is not like that. It is about what is true and real. Buddhist meditation is ultimately a way to discover that truth. (MORE)

6 Practical Meditation Tips
Meditation is the art of focusing on a single point, your quiet place within. Of the thousands of thoughts going through your mind every day, each one of them trying to grab your attention. Meditation helps you calm them down, and then you can focus on what really matters. In addition, meditation can be a reminder that all the feelings, emotions, thoughts and behaviors are originating from you and your view of life, not so much the other way around.
Research backing the many benefits of meditation is strong. Meditation can help people physically, emotionally and mentally. It is just the matter of getting it into the routine of life and practicing it until it becomes natural. (MORE)

Meditation Can Counter Neurological Diseases.
Meditation, spirituality and a proper diet could be just the panacea for neurological diseases, said renowned Jaipur-based neurologist, Dr Ashok Panagariya.
Panagariya was delivering a lecture on ‘Living larger, living happier: A journey from clinical neurology to the complexities of brain and mind’ at the 19th annual conference of the Indian Academy of Neurology (IAN) held at city-based Marriott Hotel and convention centre on Friday. Panagariya, who is the head of department of neurology, SMS Medical College, Jaipur, is also the president of IAN. In his interesting lecture, Panagariya explained how individuals could relax their minds and function amid stressful conditions of life to keep neurological diseases at bay.
According to the doctor, increasing stress coupled with smoking and drinking habits of people has given rise to diabetes and hypertension that in turn has given rise to neurological diseases. “However, science is probing how individuals can control their minds to become stress-free and prevent and cure diseases,” Panagariya said.

Om, Don't Sweat It
The stormy economy and weather has me practicing more yoga than ever. And while these ancient techniques balance body and mind, perspiration is all part of the process. So what's an active yogi to do when she loves fashion?
Sweating is a healthy way to get rid of toxins -- but not when you're a yogi swathed in Lycra. Sure, the bike riding set loves this fabric and that makes perfect sense; it is uniquely aerodynamic and dries quickly.
But if you're not moving at 30 MPH then these threads defeat their own purpose, keeping you wet longer than necessary. So, au revoir, Lycra. I liked you in the '80s, when I was doing Jane Fonda workout videos and didn't know better.
Yoga teachers have their hands in some seriously sweaty places. Spotting down dog puts my entire body flush against the sweat zone, and whatever seeps out of my clients seeps all over me. I may aspire to the warrior goddess mantle, but after teaching a challenging class I run home to bathe. I like fabrics that breathe like my students do in a yoga class.
In an attempt to move toward more natural fibers and away from synthetics, I discovered Prancing Leopard, an organic and eco-conscious lifestyle brand made in Turkey. (MORE)

Eat, Smoke, Meditate: Why Your Brain Cares How You Cope
Most people do what they have to do to get through the day. Though this may sound dire, let’s face it, it’s the human condition. Given the number of people who are depressed or anxious, it’s not surprising that big pharma is doing as well as it is. But for millennia before we turned to government-approved drugs, humans devised clever ways of coping: Taking a walk, eating psychedelic mushrooms, breathing deeply, snorting things, praying, running, smoking, and meditating are just some of the inventive ways humans have found to deal with the unhappy rovings of their minds.
But which methods actually work?
Most people would agree that a lot of our unhappiness comes from the mind’s annoying chatter, which includes obsessions, worries, drifts from this stress to that stress, and our compulsive and exhausting need to anticipate the future. Not surprisingly, the goal of most adults is to get the mind to shut up, calm down, and chill out. For this reason, we turn to our diverse array of feel-good tools (cigarettes, deep breathing, and what have you). Some are healthier and more effective than others, and researchers are finally understanding why certain methods break the cycle and others exacerbate it. (MORE)

Entrepreneurs More Likely To Turn To Prayer, Meditation
Entrepreneurs behave just like most Americans when it come to religion — but with one spiritual twist.
They're significantly more likely to pray several times a day or to meditate, says sociologist Kevin Dougherty, a co-author of the Baylor Religion Survey.
The survey can't answer whether prayerful, peaceful folks are more likely to take a business risk or whether the stress of a start-up drives folks to their knees or to the lotus position, Dougherty says.
Questions on entrepreneurs were a part of the survey underwritten by Baylor's sociology department, the National Study of Religion and Entrepreneurial Behavior and the National Science Foundation.
Either way, 34% of entrepreneurs say they frequently look up to the Lord, compared with 27% of non-entrepreneurs. Nearly as many, 32%, say they look inward in meditation while just 22% non-entrepreneurs say they practice any of the eight forms of mediation, including Christian, Jewish and Buddhist variations, on the survey.
Leading the way: Christian meditation, reported by 18% of entrepreneurs. (MORE)

Indian Women Most Stressed In The World
The Nielsen survey has found that Indian women are the most stressed in the world today..
A recent survey by Nielsen ratings has found alarming results. The country that gave the world, stress reduction techniques like Transcendental meditation is having the world’s most stressed out women. Yes, Indian women are the most stressed in the world.
According to the survey conducted in 21 countries and covering nearly 6500 women, 87 percent of Indian women felt stressed out all the time due to work and family related pressures while 82 percent said that they do not have time for themselves. India is considered a booming economy and naturally the women work force experiences the same challenges and opportunities as men in Indian companies and workplaces. The joint and extended family systems that are still prevalent in many families often lead to expectations at the home front too. As a result, married women between 25 to 55 years of age experience the biggest amount of work and domestic stress. According to a prominent sociologist, the reason for this is there is little or no social help and physical infrastructure like daycares, reliable domestic help etc. Many experts also feel that the rigid social structure and class society of India could be stressful not only to women but also men.

Meditation Creates Substantial Reduction in Health Care Costs
Meditation is among the complementary health care practices, like massage, shown to have several benefits; and many massage therapists use meditation as a self-care or spiritual practice.
New research shows medical costs decreased 28 percent among high-spending health care consumers after five years of transcendental meditation practice.
The study shows people with consistently high health care costs experienced a 28-percent cumulative decrease in physician fees after an average of five years practicing the stress-reducing transcendental meditation technique compared with their baseline.
"In most populations, a small fraction of people account for the majority of health care costs," a press release noted. "In the U.S., the highest-spending 10 percent in the general population incurred 60 to 70 percent of total medical expenditures annually."
Chronic stress is the number-one factor contributing to high medical expenses, the press release added. (MORE)

The Why of Meditation
Be good and do good for a decent living. But for a much better living with a vision, mission and ultimate fulfillment, one must practise meditation daily. Meditation enables one to delve deeper within one’s true self and it widens the expanding horizon of consciousness. If one wants to live life with proactive fulfilment and constant ecstasy, then one must practise mediation. Once one learns the basics of mediation, it becomes easy and the more we meditate the more we would like to meditate.
The process involves awareness, affirmation, prayer, relaxation, visualisation and intuitive attunement with the core of cosmos within and outside our own self. We need to prepare our own process sheet for better adherence to the same. Let us sit down with spine erect, chest out, abdomen in and chin parallel to the ground to develop the essentials.
Awareness is the key. It is the beginning, middle and end of meditation. It can be developed by paying keen attention to the incoming and outgoing breath without any regulation or control. Observe how it is entering the whole body from crown to the toe filling them up with vitality and taking the fatigue away with outgoing breath.
In this process, we can observe our motionless body from outside, the blood circulation, heart beats and gradually expand awareness from body to mind and pure consciousness. (MORE)

Say "Om" And Stay Young
It's no secret that we YOU Docs are big fans of meditation (we do it every day). It helps with stress, sleep, blood pressure, staying young and finding calm in the middle of chaos. But even we were surprised by this: Meditating also makes your brain bigger. Yep, if you meditate regularly, you'll actually have more grey matter and keep all those smart brain signals flashing.
Just sit down and say "om." Your brain will develop stronger connections and show less atrophy. Translation: Meditating protects your brain from shrinking and slowing down. It also helps you feel less stress and cope better with nagging aches and pains.
How does om-ing do its stuff? Each deep, steady breath you take generates alpha brainwaves that let you relax and mentally move away from things that are bothering you. It decreases stress hormones and releases feel-good chemicals in your brain. That may partly explain why meditation has such positive effects on your immune system and memory. (MORE)

Meditation Can Reduce Health Care Costs
Stress can contribute to a wide array of health problems, and finding ways to reduce stress could presumably impact overall health care costs as well. A new study suggests that meditation can do just that.
According to the research, people with consistently high health care costs experienced a 28 percent cumulative decrease in physician fees after an average of five years practicing the stress-reducing Transcendental Meditation technique compared with their baseline.
The study is published in the September/October 2011 issue of the American Journal of Health Promotion.
Experts have recognized that in most populations, a small fraction of people account for the majority of health care costs.
In the U.S., the highest spending 10 percent in the general population incurred 60 percent to 70 percent of total medical expenditures annually.
In the Medicare population, the highest spending 5 percent incurred 43 percent of total Medicare costs, and the highest spending 25 percent of seniors accounted for 85 percent of total expenses.
Individuals in these groups have consistently high medical bills year after year. (MORE)

Medication or Meditation for Veterans With PTS?
Iconic filmmaker David Lynch will announce this September 11 a $500,000 matching grant to be used to teach the Transcendental Meditation technique to 10,000 veterans with post-traumatic stress (PTS) and their families.
Lynch is inviting philanthropists and foundations to match the offer by Veterans Day, November 11, 2011.
Hollywood directors Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, and George Lucas, as well as Dr. Mehmet Oz, Paul McCartney, Jerry Seinfeld, and Russell Brand have joined Lynch in support of the outreach.
Lynch's veteran's initiative comes from Operation Warrior Wellness (OWW), a division of the David Lynch Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2005 to bring Transcendental Meditation to at-risk populations.
According to Norman Rosenthal, M.D., psychiatrist and medical researcher at Georgetown University Medical School and author of the New York Times bestseller, Transcendence, research on the Transcendental Meditation technique on OEF/OIF veterans and Vietnam veterans demonstrates its effectiveness for reducing symptoms of PTS—and treating disorders associated with the illness.

5 Meditation Styles For Beginners
Quiet the mind. Slow down your breath. Awaken your chakras. It's time to meditate! I'll be the first one to admit that I used to be like Ms. Paltrow, in that I didn't have the slightest idea how to meditate. I would dim the lights, make sure the apartment was quiet, and try to focus on my breath. Problem was, I was so focused on "conquering meditation" that my mind couldn't relax and just "be." After hearing about all the health perks associated with meditation — including stress reduction, a heightened self awareness, and being able to tune out distractions — I knew I couldn't give up. The good news is, I realized that there are many different types of meditation. This is key, because once you explore the various meditation styles, you can choose one that suits you best.
Keep reading to find out what they are.
First things first, you need to find a comfortable and quiet place to sit. Some people like to lie down while meditating, but I find it tempting to fall asleep, so I prefer sitting up. Next step: choose a meditation style that interests you. Here are five that I feel are best suited for anyone new to meditation. (MORE)
