Is there a scientific basis for post-exercise meditation and relaxation training?

First of all one should know what is 'meditation'? Meditation literally explained: meditation, is to obliterate. Thinking, is your thinking, thinking, meditation is the thoughts you want to think, thinking to give away, to find the perception.

Meditation, we all mistakenly believe that only sitting there is meditation, and even set up a course specifically for meditation, in fact, anytime, anywhere you can enter the state of no thought. For example, asana, observe the breath can also enter the DHYANA, do asana through the breath to move the body, when using the breath to move the body, when the body reaches the limit has been in a state of DHYANA, some people asana movement is called moving meditation. Moving meditation from what as the entrance, through a period of time to observe our body, will find that in the body there are controllable parts and non-controllable parts.

Controllable: things like moving your body, blinking your eyes, breathing in and out, and closing your breath are things you can control.

Non-controllable: for example, the growth of nails, hair is something you can not command him, is something you can not control.

Meditation is from the controllable part of our body for the entrance. For example, the hand to do a high degree of bending, when you bend and stretch, stretch to the limit, the mind stops at this time, yoga many asanas require as much as possible to do the limits of the body, after reaching the limits of the body, the consciousness enters into the state of perception, into the state of DHYANA. PRANAYAMA YAM has another layer of meaning: unlimited expansion, unlimited stretching meaning, do an asana to achieve infinite stretching. When an asana reaches infinite extension, it enters the state of DHYANA, practicing asanas is the use of the body's limit, after the movement of the body many teachers will set up some candlelight meditation, OM sound meditation, observation of the breath meditation, etc., the principle is the same. Candlelight meditation is to use the eyes, eyes open, do not blink, in fact, as long as you master the principle of not using candles can also master the meditation, do not use candles, open the eyes, as far as possible, do not blink, the controllable system to reach the non-controllable when the eyes are open for a while, fatigue needs to blink to protect the eyes, but you control him, do not blink, the mind's mind stops at this time, this time there is no longer any thinking. The exercise of meditation is actually using the controllable part of the body to cut off thinking, and the same with breathing, many teachers will teach to exhale, inhale, and hold the breath. Let's experiment with this, take a deep breath and then hold your breath, at this instant of holding your breath the mind goes into a vacuum and is unable to think. Then it enters DHYANA.

When thinking is cut off, there is an automatic flow of energy into perception, perception and thinking are difficult to exist at the same time, and when thinking exists too much perception disappears.

This state of DHYANA is in a state of perception which is intelligent. It is not the perception of a child or a madman without thinking. The thinking of a child or a madman is low not yet initiated and its perception is ignorant and unintelligent.DHYANA is the unity of perception and intelligence in a high degree.

Thinking is more difficult to explain the content, involves a lot of things that can not be expressed in words, and many books say that meditation is not to be said, is not to be told. But our ancient Lao Tzu said, "The Way can be said, but it is not the Way." That is to say that what is unspeakable can still be spoken, even though what is spoken is not the original thing, it is still necessary to experience it and try to elaborate on him. Cannot find such a word as DHYANA, can only be translated as MEDITATION (medicine for the mind) comes from MEDICINE (medicine). Nowadays meditation comes from the translation of MEDITATION, which would also translate MEDITATION as meditation, meditation, basically translating Osho stuff on the internet as meditation.

A meditation course is a Zen course. Meditation, Zen is a state of perception.

What is perception, sentience: sentience means, you hit me or get burnt by boiling water, I perceive the pain, it is a kind of perceptual sensation.DHYANA: Our mind is often in a state of contemplation, always thinking about things, thinking too much, forgetting to perceive, when one thinks too much, one forgets about the body's ability to perceive, and when it is in a state of contemplation for a long period of time, the mind and the body become highly divided, and when very strongly divided, the mind and the body become highly divided. The first thing you need to do is to get rid of all the problems that you have, and then you will be able to get rid of them, and then you will be able to get rid of them.

When a person is far away from perception, in the state of "lost thoughts", his mind is completely detached from the body, and his perception has lost its ability to perceive. Observe the pedestrians on the road and you will see, especially in the big cities, you observe them, everyone walking is not walking, he is walking eyes, movements in all aspects of his mind to be taken to the imagination of another purpose of the place, it is very difficult to have a very easy to walk when walking, this walking state is the idea of pulling away from the body. If you observe old people exercising in the park early in the morning or at dusk, you will find that their walking state is completely different from that of the daytime, walking for the sake of walking, with harmony of movement and body in it. When a person overthinks and makes the mind leave the body, the body and mind split, and this split produces all kinds of diseases.

DHYANA is the practice of yoga, through a series of methods, so that you re-unite the mind and body into a state of perception, this state can not be expressed in words, so the word DHYANA to describe this state, this is the purpose and effect of our practice of yoga.

Modern medicine has proved:

1. Dr. Shigeo Haruyama, a famous Japanese medical doctor, has proved from a large number of clinical practice and scientific research that the brain of a person who is engaged in the Leaning Thinking can secrete a kind of substance similar to morphine, which is called "endorphin". It not only improves the brain and maintains the youthfulness of brain cells, but also creates a feeling of happiness, strengthens the immune function, prevents aging, and improves the ability to prevent and naturally cure diseases (the body's ability to heal itself in the event of disease).

2, from the brain wave observation, our body tension or feel bored, beta wave appears more than, this is to produce life environment disease or cancer, mental illness, insomnia, neurosis and other diseases, one of the reasons. In 1997 the Japanese Tokyo Prefectural Medical University Dr. Watanabe Yang, Kawauchi Akihiro and Duckai Kazumi doctors, etc., cooperated in the Yoga meditation brain waves of the situation of the experiments, they found that after meditation a large number of β-wave which is other health law winds not the unique effect. When the waves appear in large quantities, the brain center feels refreshed and harmonized, and the disease and disease-causing factors are lifted from the brain.

3, meditation into the tip of the tongue against the upper jaw, the root of the tongue is stimulated, can make the saliva secretion increase, saliva is not only necessary for digestion, and contains a can inhibit cancer peroxidase and anti-aging hormone.

4, when the meditation to achieve a state of meditation when the whole body relaxation, heartbeat slowed down significantly, breathing was a kind of tortoise state, the body metabolism is lowered, the brain and tissues and organs are at rest, oxygen consumption is reduced to the lowest level, is a kind of savings life, the best way to slow down the aging process.

5, meditation, measured muscle and brain nerve relaxation, blood flow throughout the body to improve the 15-16 times, stable in the various tissues and organs to be nourished, so that the inner layers of the skin of the face of the water is sufficient, nutrient increase, give a person a radiant sense of beauty, so the current in Japan set off a wave of meditation meditation beauty fever.

6, gene theory: human genetic engineering confirms that genes are the body's own resistance to viruses and self-healing powerful weapon. Do as the fourth medical revolution of gene therapy is the most successful results: for the treatment of heart disease. Some progress has also been made in the treatment of genetic diseases and the prevention of AIDS and cancer. Since human beings can use genes for treatment, genetic changes can also affect a person's intelligence, appearance, gender, body shape and so on. Meditation can produce positive ways of thinking, eliminate negative emotions, and regulate the nervous and endocrine systems, thus having the effect of self-maintaining genes.
