HOW CAN A FEW MINUTES OF MEDITATION A DAY HELP YOU?
It will help each person differently and part of the difference is the intention you bring to the process. What do you want to achieve? That will direct the energies. You can of course also ask for whatever is for your highest good and the highest good of all. Below is a summary of what science has shown that meditation brings to people who have been studied. It is a synthesis of the information presented in the book, Cured, by Jeffrey Rediger, M.D. and from a website (reference at end).
