— Jill Ladwig report:

People suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and asthma — in which psychological stress plays a major role — may benefit from mindfulness meditation techniques, according to a study by University of Wisconsin-Madison neuroscientists with the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds in the Waisman Center.
[A Youtube video search will turn scores of videos]

Mindfulness-based stress reduction, originally designed for patients with chronic pain, consists of continuously focusing attention on the breath, bodily sensations and mental content while seated, walking or practicing yoga.

.

[There are dozens of excellent research programs under way – I found so many that I decided only to say – Google ‘mindfulness-based stress reduction’ and see for yourself.]

.

While interest in meditation as a means of reducing stress has grown over the years, there has been little evidence to support benefits specific to mindfulness meditation practice. This was the first study designed to control for other therapeutic mechanisms, such as supportive social interaction, expert instruction, or learning new skills.

The study compared two methods of reducing stress: a mindfulness meditation-based approach, and a program designed to enhance health in ways unrelated to mindfulness.

The comparison group participated in the Health Enhancement Program, which consisted of nutritional education; physical activity, such as walking; balance, agility and core strengthening; and music therapy. The content of the program was meant to match aspects of the mindfulness instruction in some way. For example, physical exercise was meant to match walking meditation, without the mindfulness component. Both groups had the same amount of training, the same level of expertise in the instructors, and the same amount of home practice required by participants.

The results show that behavioral interventions designed to reduce emotional reactivity are beneficial to people suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions. The study also suggests that mindfulness techniques may be more effective in relieving inflammatory symptoms than other activities that promote well-being.

I had a black dog, his name was depression

Will this help? I bet it helps to know what’s in this story – for someone – someone in your life as well as maybe at work or school or down the street. Watch this short video and be glad for something – anything – but also be glad that people can get help when they need it. I know lately I was anxious. I thought until today that I have to get a perfect job – but – today I learned that I get to have a perfect job (as soon as it gets here). I learned to be grateful for my negativity because it’s expanding my thinking and it’s just the right manure that I needed. I learned that people are saying prayers for me. I learned that I need to give because giving makes me feel better. I learned that Jesus said, “If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” (John 15:7). It’s a good day here. I hope you are having a good day too. ~ Eric

I have a problem with using the metaphor of a dog…since you know how much I love dogs. But the video is very well made and I think it will be able to help fight the stigma and make the world. I was produced by the World Health Organisation. Let’s help them spread the word! Please share this video as much as you can and hopefully this awareness campaign will help our cause!

Hunt 4 Truth

For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." https://hunt4truth.wordpress.com/ Absolute Truth is whole, complete and perfect. Absolute Truth is just beyond words, mental concepts, and form; Non-being, yet in everything and yet beyond thought forms. Prayer and meditation fashion in our hearts further honesty, openness, and willingness and thus, we may glimpse guidance and truth to rightly think and act. Any glimpse of truth is not Absolute Truth. It may be sufficient until we renew our commitment to serve God. Life is thus best navigated during mindfulness of prayer and meditation by an inner peace. "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Romans 1:20
