Most doctors say meditation can’t hurt you, but now there’s reassuring evidence that it may help you as well when it comes to warding off disease. Previous studies have linked better health outcomes among heart patients who practiced meditation compared to those who did not, but none of those trials could definitively credit the brain-focusing program with the better health results. In the latest trial to address those limitations, however, meditation does appear to have […]

There are quite a few ways to meditate. Some of them, e.g. yogic meditation called Kirtan Kriya, involve chanting of mantras: first aloud, then in a whisper, and then silently.
