Fasting
Many scientists have sought to explain the underlying mechanism by which fasting therapy corrects abnormal and unbalanced psycho-physiological systems, and restores health so efficiently. Its stabilizing effects on the nervous system have been measured electrically through brain wave recordings and its effects on the endocrine glands have been traced bio-chemically. Both sets of findings tend to confirm that fasting allows the autonomic systems of the body to function at a relaxed baseline level, free from the erratic and disruptive influences of the nervous system and hormones.
Meditation and Prayer
Research has shown that Meditation and prayer can contribute to an individual's psychological and physiological well-being. This is accomplished as Meditation brings the brainwave pattern into an alpha state, which is a level of consciousness that promotes the healing state, and there is scientific evidence that Meditation can reduce blood pressure and relieve pain and stress.
Do any of you do either of these things? It really does work for clearing your head, and generally making you feel healthier.
If you haven't tried Fasting or Meditation yet, do so! I guarantee you'll feel good afterwards, whether its due to Physical, Psychological, or Divine reasons.
What do you guys think about this?
