Study Shows Meditation Even More Effective Before Stress

Mental stress has been reported to impair cognitive functions. This may be relevant to the performance of students, office workers, and many others for whom optimal alertness, concentration, and memory are significant variables affecting their performance.

Researchers in India studied the effects of meditation before stress and after stress using computer games as the stressor.  Computer games usually give immense pleasure after a win. However, in the initial stages of the game when a player suffers repeated defeats or constraints, the game becomes very stressful.

The computer games gave a sharp increase in stress levels. The study measured galvanic skin response, heart rate, electromyography, sympathetic reactivity, cortisol, and acute psychologic stress scores.

They found benefits were given to even first time meditators.  Meditation, if practiced before the stressful event, reduced the adverse effects of stress. Memory quotient significantly increased for those that meditated before, whereas cortisol level decreased after both stress and meditation. The practice of meditation after stress may ameliorate some negative effects of stress, however the effect was greater on those that meditated before the stress!

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD sifted through nearly 19,000 meditation studies, they found 47 trials that addressed stress and met their criteria for well-designed studies. Their findings, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggest that meditation can help ease psychological stresses like anxiety, depression, and pain.

It’s pretty amazing that there are 19,000 studies on meditation already completed on the effectiveness of meditation.

The Ishaya Tradition techniques/meditation have been practiced for thousands of years and have been verified to be universally true for all.

This is the reason why we should be open to meditation and let it be part of our lives. If we know how to carry problems really well, this wouldn't be your problem. But if you're bad at carrying stress all at once, you need to be familiar with meditation because that's going to be a great help for you! Meditation is good especially if we are surrounded by a lot of stress in life! But it has been proven to be effective if it will be part of our everyday lives!
