Meditate Much?

I listened to John Tesh last night, a radio show host who hosts the program, "Intelligence for your Life".  I've talked about his show before, and I really do love it!  It's perfect when I'm running in between errands at night and he really has some great tips!


Last night's was on the power of meditation.  He spoke about how in recent studies, two groups were given two options to deal with pain: mediation and morphine.  Those with morphine lowered their pain by 20% but those who meditated were able to lower their pain by 40%.  Additionally, and unfortunately I was only half listening at this point, but there was something about being able to lower one's blood pressure or something through meditation just as well as taking medication.  Sadly, I don't remember the specifics.


Awesome, though!  With all the push and need for natural remedies and less reliance on things like OTC drugs and pharmaceutical companies, I thought this was really great information!  I'm not saying do away with everything, but it's refreshing to remember the incredible healing power the body possesses itself.


Maybe I should take his advice should Greece give me more of a sunburn than I can handle.  Aloe, vitamin E, and meditation anyone??
