stress meditation studies

Nondirective versus concentration Several studies indicate better relaxation and stress management by meditation techniques where you refrain from trying to control the content of the mind. "These methods are often described as nondirective, because practitioners do not actively pursue a particular experience or state of mind. They cultivate the ability to tolerate the spontaneous wandering of the mind without getting too much involved.

They say it can help, and well it sure can't hurt right? at the least it will help with the whole stress that ttc brings! i've started yoga recently, trying to do any and everything we can to help all of this!

Meditation has been laid stress upon by all religions. The meditative state of mind is declared by the Yogis to be the highest state in which the mind exists. When the mind is studying the external object, it gets identified with it, loses itself. To use the simile of the old Indian philosopher: the soul of man is like a piece of crystal, but it takes the colour of whatever is near it. Whatever the soul touches ... it has to take its colour. That is the difficulty.

It was developed by Jon Kabat Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Stress Reduction Clinic. The type of meditation sounds alot like TS Geare described to you in that you don't try to force your thoughts away. You focus on your breathing to keep you in the present moment. When thoughts intrude, you acknowledge them and then go back to your breathing. By doing this, you become aware of your thoughts and how they efffect you.

Im in the same bout stressed and overwhelmed not just because what im going through but also because its my first and im nervous ect. Ect. Everyone says its normal. Try listening to relaxation or meditation music on Pandora with some headphones if you have quiet time just lay there and relax think and about the baby.it helps me. Hopefully same for you :) you will be fine mommy!

Certain forms of meditation have been studied more -- TM, Mindfulness, and something called the Meditation on Compassion and Lovingkindness have shown the most benefit, but we do have to consider that the studies looked at monks and long-term meditators in many of the studies.

I started out with the simple "I am breathing in" (1) I am breathing out. I'm glad it helped keep you from freaking out, db, that must have been awful. I've also done walking meditation, and "red light meditation" (do the breathing while stopped at a red light), and so on. I forgot to practice when so much was going wrong, right when I needed it the most. Tahiri, years ago I practiced judo, and the kata was like a meditation, too.

m underweight, not overweight, never drink or smoke, eat mostly grain, veggies and a little fish with low salt, hike in the hills regularly, semi-retired, low stress life with daily meditation, definitely don't fit the profile for hypertension.

thanks for the response, yeah i am trying to get a hold of stress and strangle it, i know that meditation works but sometimes its hard to concentrate. one time a meditated my way out of agitation, i was on mushrooms though. controlling your mind is very possible with meditation and it also eliminates bad physical sensations.

Eating right helps overall health and that keeps stress down. Journaling what is bothering me helps me see patterns I can work on and triggers I can eliminate. It helps me problem solve the situation. Deep breathing and positive self talk do wonders.

we all may have other issues in addition to the added stress or emotional over loads....but it is all a result of Chiari affecting our control center....

Studies aren't conclusive on that. However, too much stress while pregnant can cause all sorts of other issues to include loss of baby.

I am following his advise on adopting yoga for exercise instead of weight lifting and meditation for stress reduction. I feel fortunate to have survived 2 strikes and don't want the third to take me out.

Hi everyone. I'm 27 and a half weeks and going through a lot of stress. My 15 year old ran away and is using drugs, my job has demoted me with pay cut and reduced hours, my husband is talking about divorce, and my step son who's 20 has no respect for my rulesand I think both of the children are jealous of the baby. I'm not able to make all my bills, and my job is not sympathetic to my difficult pregnancy.

meditation is a mind set that you learn to put yourself into. One of the first steps in meditaion is to have a relaxing enviroment. sit or lie down find that place in your mind were you can get away from everything. (your happy place) control your breathing and just let everything else escape. that is the basics of meditation.

Has anyone used any guided meditation cd's? I have been looking at them because I think they might help me relax during this whole process. They can be expensive, like everything else related to infertility!
