Benefits of Meditation Proven by
Scientific Research

Scientific research proves the healing power of meditation as a natural stress relief technique complementing other health related therapies, regardless of religious/non-religious beliefs.

Here are a few excerpts from an article written by Cheryl Kasdorf NMD, published in Naturopathic Doctor News & Review, June 2006.

…It was my experience using the Ishayas' Ascension that propelled me to hand my practice over to another doctor for six months in order to attend the teacher training. Simply put, I have found there is nothing more easy and effective for remembering our true state where perfect health originates - for accessing the Healing Power of Nature. I recommend the Ishayas' Ascension to all my patients who I sense are open to it, emphatically to the ones where stress is running their lives. The most common diagnoses I recommend this for are insomnia, hypertension, depression, anxiety, and everything that falls under the category of adrenal burnout (hormonal imbalance).

…Even AMA doctors applied meditation-based stress release techniques and found reduced psychological distress, including depression, and increased empathy in medical students, even at exam times (Shapiro et al., 1998).

…The bottom line is there are short- and long-term neural changes with meditation. (Lutz et al, 2004) That translates to a change in experience of life, not only in the closed-eye meditative state, but a change which extends through the rest of the day and night. Waking life begins to flow with ease, sleep is deeper and more restful, and dreams become lucid.
