Meditation and Prayer

Activities that are intimately related and integral to spirituality: meditation and prayer.

Meditation, this is not necessarily a religious activity. Meditation is an act of sitting quietly and alone in a quiet place with your eyes closed, paying attention to your breathing and repeating a word or phrase during the respiratory cycle. It is a way of paying attention to your inner or spiritual self.

Dr. Herbert Benson, in The Relaxation Response, fifteen years ago, showed that relaxation techniques such as meditation have immense physical benefits, such as lower blood pressure and reduced heart disease. More recently, the National Institute for Health Technology Assessment panel found evidence that relaxation techniques can also reduce chronic pain in various medical conditions.

Prayer is based on seeking a higher power on behalf of yourself or others, which you can do regularly or in situations of stress, pain or joy. It can be an act of spiritual communication with others, about your own pain or problems, or about someone else's, or when you are thankful for something good that happened in your life or in someone else's life.

Dr. Larry Dossey, in his book Healing Words, describes research that shows that prayer impacts a range of organic conditions and diseases: heart disease, hypertension, stroke, cancer, and gastrointestinal disease.

Today, although there is no conclusive evidence of the power of prayer as a real healing, there is quite a lot of credible evidence to show that prayer has a positive effect on the person for whom one prays and also on the person who does it.
