In last two decades , especially with the advent of hitech & modern technology , world has witnessed many revolutionary changes and developments in the concepts, approach & methodology of health science. However, inspite of so much advancement, its quite strange that still millions of people are suffering from life threating diseases for which there is no known cure yet. Years of experience & proven tests by medical professionals all over the world have made them realize that stress or mental tension is the greatest killer & the root cause of all the diseases that we suffer from. As mentioned above that, inspite of marvellous advancement in the science of healing,the number of patients are still increasing & no disease has completely been eradicated from the earth. This is mainly because certain aspects of the patients, such as their thinking habits,old memories,emotional traits,attitudes etc..are not being given as much attention as is necessary during treatment.
While studying about the effects of meditation on human health, researchers in medical professions found that the relaxation response obtained by practicing meditation affects a man’s sub conscious mind as well as every cell of his body & it also raises his level of immunity,tolerance,self control and will power which are very useful in treatment of ailments. This relaxation response, according to researchers ,comes from the area of the pituitary-hypothalamus combine. One gives out alpha and delta waves from this sub-cortical region when he/she engages their mind in a special form of positive thinking, called Meditation. Thus,the importance of positive thinking for good health & harmonious nature is well established and meditation is considered as the easiest tool to achieve it. Proper understanding of sympathetic-parasympathetic nervous system & hypothalamus, thalamus & hypophysis should leave no doubt in our mind that, unless a man’s mind is cured & his will to become well is strengthened, no long lasting results can be assured through medicine or surgery. So let us make a strong resolve to strengthen ourselves mentally by applying principles of positive thinking & create an aura of wellness around us to cure self as well as people around us.
