deprivation. With training, understanding and imparting of knowledge the
Yogic and Vedic lifestyle made a person's life relatively stress free.
Meditation is an important aspect of yogic and Vedic lifestyle. Recent
studies done using functional MRI have shown that people who regularly
meditate have enhanced prefrontal cortical regulation and reduced bilateral
amygdale activity. Amygdale activity is typically associated with negative
affective states.
So meditation can cause changes in the brain. At hormonal level meditation
appears to improve endocrinal balance towards positive response. People
who meditate regularly show higher levels of DHEA and lower cortisol levels
which indicate that their body is taking and dealing with everything in a
positive manner.
During many meditations, visualisation is an important technique. Positive
visualisation will cause positive changes in the brain and a positive
hormonal response whereas negative visualisation during meditation will
cause negative changes in the brain and negative hormonal response.
Telomeres are structures found at the end of chromosomes. Telomeres are
the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that prevents the end of the
chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighbouring
chromosomes. In other words, telomeres protect DNA and chromosomes
from damage. Telomere length starts increasing within 28 days of regular
meditation. In fact, it is telomere length which defines the age of a person
so meditation can increase the age of a person.
