Meditation

"Scientific experiments conducted in various laboratories, using yogi and advanced Western meditators as subjects, reveal that in the deep relaxation of meditation the heart rate decreases and apparently the muscles of the walls of the blood vessels relax.  This allows blood to flow more abundantly to all organs including the brain." Claire Myers Owens

What a good reason to meditate!  Meditation also is a wonderful technique to help diminish stress.  There are many books on meditation, but I don't think it needs to be complicated.  For about 20 minutes every day sit in a comfortable position, breathe slowly, and notice your thoughts without judgment.  It becomes easier and easier with practice, and the benefits are immense.
