Meditation Helps You Do Well in School, Says Psychologist!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Newport Beach, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 7, 2010 -- According to a study he’s been doing over the past decade looking at blood pressure as a scientific gauge of how young adult adolescents are doing health wise, Dr. Barnes has conclusively reported that meditation does help to reduce or improve the blood pressure of these young adults.

“He has found that mediating twice a day have with tremendously improved the cardiovascular health of these adolescents. But he has also found that meditation helps with education overall,” says Dr. Robert Puff, a Clinical Psychologist, who cited Dr. Barnes’ research in supporting the need for meditation as presented in one of his weekly “Mediation for Health” podcasts hosted online at http://www.MeditationForHealthPodcast.com

The podcast, titled Meditation Helps You Do Well in School, addresses the point that when young people are stressed it becomes harder for them to concentrate, thus making it even harder for them to be good students. According to Dr. Puff, “It’s really hard to do well when you are stressed, but when your mind is quiet, when it is calm, it prepares you for learning. And isn’t this true for all of us? When our mind is calm, when our mind is peaceful, we are prepared for anything in life, whether it be dealing with our children, preparing for an exam, driving, working, it doesn’t really matter what. Approaching things with a calm mind is really always better. I do mean always.”

In support of Dr. Puff’s presentation, Dr. Barnes has reported that adolescents participating in the study have missed fewer classes and generally behaviour better when they meditate twice per day. “You may be asking yourself how does this relates to you, and what’s difference does it make?” he says. Using his own example as a testimony to dong meditation, he said it works wonders for him. “Not only do I eat right, exercising often, enjoys my work, being in a healthy relationship, and doing a job that I really love, which is making his weekly podcast presentations, I feel that the main thing I do to maintain my overall good health is to meditate.”

He adds that “It’s good for my peace of mind, it relaxes me, and it calms me. And although I don’t go to school anymore, I go to work, and over the last 25 years, I have only missed one day of work because of ill health,” he explains. “It’s not that I don’t get a cold or a runny nose ever now and then, but I don’t miss work, and I tend to stay very healthy. Twenty-five years, missing one day of work, is a pretty good track record, don’t you think?”

So what about you?

Dr. Puff advises that, with science showing how incredible wonderful meditation is to our good health, we should really give meditation a try. “The proof is really in the eating of the pudding, and if I could perhaps challenge or encourage you to try meditation for a week, spending perhaps 20 -30 minutes in the morning and 20-30 minutes at night, I am sure it would do you a whole lot of good.”

If you don’t know how to meditate, Dr. Puff has, in a previous podcast, described how to properly go about it. He argues however that once you have developed the habit of meditating, you’ll being seeing changes. “The changes may not be dramatic at first, but I bet you’ll find that they are good changes. Good for you, good for the people around you,” he said. And again in reference to himself, Dr. Puff notes that the biggest testimony he can give is that the people around him find him to be very different, particularly those knowing him the longest. “I am different, I am calmer, I am more at peace, and I think you too may just find mediation takes the edge off,” he adds.

Dr. Puff, who often described people as potential fire crackers, says people often come with either a short or a long fuse. “When the firecracker has a long fuse, it takes longer to blow up when it is lit. Therefore, within the human context, if our ‘fuse’ is loner, we won’t get blown up that easily. On the other hand, if our human fuse is short, then it doesn’t take long for us explode. Therefore, in practicing mediation, it makes our fuses longer, not shorter.”

Once again, Dr. Puff encourages you to start meditating. He says you are to try it for just one week, twice a day - one in the morning and one at night - and see if you’ll not experience a difference. “Dr. Barnes found that his adolescents he has been working with for 10 years have done better, performed better, and perhaps you could too,” he says.
