Try Transcendental Medditation (which Dr. Benson modeled his technique on). TM has hundreds of studies that show its technique to be the most effective technique (and better than Dr. Benson’s faux TM technique)–of all comparable methods–for all kinds of health improvement issues.

Jiddu Krishnamurti telling a joke… “There are three monks, who had been sitting in deep meditation for many years amidst the Himalayan snow peaks, never speaking a word, in utter silence. One morning, one of the three suddenly speaks up and says, ‘What a lovely morning this is.’ And he falls silent again. Five years of silence pass, when all at once the second monk speaks up and says, ‘But we could do with some rain.’ There is silence among them for another five years, when suddenly the third monk says, ‘Why can’t you two stop chattering?” http://www.katinkahesselink.net/kr/jokes.html http://seaunaluzparaustedmismo.blogspot.com/

Most of us in the West know little about the value and importance of meditation. Many people seldom experience no-mind, and instead become accustomed to the constant buzzing of our brains. You can’t appreciate the mind without also appreciating the state of no-mind. The simple acts of stillness and silence are incredibly difficult to experience. Who would thinking doing nothing would be so hard, yet so life-changing? An interesting paradox…

I am just two weeks into a three week Acem meditation retreat mentioned above. Here we have very long meditation periodes, four 28 hours and one 50 hours where you stay in your room all time, and just meditate, sleep and do yoga.

Being the second slowest frequency of brainwave, theta waves induces a deeper sense of relaxation, like a tad short of a deep sleep. This is associated with deeper concentration and "communication" of the subconscious mind. Having pointed these, there are disciplines like thetahealing which promotes integration of theta waves that enables greater learning and self-healing. Thetahealing also contributes a greater form of relaxation, therefore alleviates depresson.
