Meditation Switches on Disease Fighting Genes

19 Aug 2009

A friend of mine sent me this website, www.familyhealthguide.co.uk.

It’s about how long term practitioners of relaxation methods such as meditation and yoga can alter the course of disease.

Here’s what was said in the article,

“In the words of Dr Herbert Benson, who led the research group at the Harvard medical School, “We found a range of disease fighting genes that were active in the relaxation practitioners but not active in the control group.”

“Interestingly, in as little as two months after the control group began meditating, their genetic profile changed to resemble those of the relaxation practitioners.”

Thank you Elisabeth for the audio meditations, at first , I thought another site for meditatons, so what's so special about this one---- but this is by far the best, better than the cds I bought. Your voice, & the simplicity of everything is terrific.

It's working for me, I feel so calm & peaceful, I'm meditating every day now, whereas before, I'd do it & then couldn't be bothered keeping it up.

Again thank you for sharing.

I'd like to thank you, Elisabeth, for your excellent audio programs. So far i have used the 5 day trial and also met my guardian angel! The meditation was so vivid, colourful and lifelike that i've sketched (and im usually a really bad artist) my guardian angel that i met. I'm so grateful fo your work- I feel that relatively soon i will find inner peace and compassion. thank you.

I'm amazed that such a simple process can be so effective - this course made me feel great!

I felt very positive and relaxed after doing the Learn How to Meditate course. I've tried meditating before but found it difficult. I like the way your course breaks it down into bite-size chunks. I feel clearer now and confidant that meditation is within my reach.
