Alternative Therapies - Meditation 6 of 6 - BBC Health Documentary Series

[Dreamazium]

i have meditated every day since i was 5 (i learned at Thomas Tallis infant school), i have found it to be most useful when in distress or worried or if i just need to study.

Most of all it is the one thing that makes me happy since people can let me down. Meditation is the way forward for all nations and people, but the person has to choose to do it:it can't be pushed on to someone.

Sometimes after meditation a conclusion is reached and i know i've changed or have something to do

I've been meditating everyday for 1/2 hr for years and will attest that all the benefits mentioned in this doc are true for me.

honestly... TERRIBLE documentary, the entire thing is summed up with "we still don't know".... just because you have a southern londoner accent doesn't mean everyone's gonna be in awe by you. Terrible Documentary honestly, one of the worst I've ever seen.

but after visiting nepal, you still saying you need more evidence of the real benefits of meditation, what more humane proof do you need.

physical brain changing part is interesting

This is the exact reason meditation should be taught in schools, starting in Elementary School, to ALL students. It should be REQUIRED, IMO. Maybe it would help put a stop to childhood depression, anxiety, crimes ect (as MrNatureCalls says in the post below). Our society as a whole would be much better off. More compassionate children means more compassionate adults.

@Colstonewall > maybe not "required" ... but optional for sure... Cheers

@Colstonewall Someone with compassion wouldn't force others to conform.
