How Meditation Heals

How Meditation Heals by Eric Harrison

Combining the latest medical research with real-life stories from the author's experience with thousands of students, How Meditation Heals shows in specific detail how and why meditation improves the natural functioning of the human body.

In straightforward, practical terms, this book describes the proven health benefits of meditation for both the body and the mind. It explains how relaxation helps restore equilibrium to the function of the body and how meditation, the art of consciously relaxing, accelerates the process.

Much more than simply a guide to understanding the power of meditation, How Meditation Heals offers specific applications of meditation for healing both physical and emotional problems. It also features detailed meditation plans for relieving numerous ailments such as hypertension, insomnia, pain, fatigue, migraines, and panic attacks.

Harrison, Eric: - Eric Harrison was born in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1949. He graduated from Victoria University with a BA in English literature and music, and started his working life as a schoolteacher and journalist. Between 1974 and 1985 he spent a total of 18 months doing retreats in the Burmese, Tibetan, Zen, and yoga traditions. While he appreciated the opportunities to do long retreats, he found he had no appetite for Buddhism itself.

When Eric opened the Perth Meditation Centre in 1987, he chose to use secular, rational, and science-based language to explain meditation. He later supplemented his knowledge with five years' study in biology, cognitive science, and Western philosophy. This approach made his work acceptable to the many doctors and psychologists who referred clients to him, and to corporations that have employed him since. He has now taught 30,000 people how to meditate, and his previous six books, including Teach Yourself to Meditate and The 5-Minute Meditator, have been translated into 14 languages.
