Meditate to prevent colds or flu?

meditate cold away 150x150 Meditate to prevent colds or flu?

I just read an article at Wisconsin State Journal on a study that seeks to determine if exercise or meditation can ward of colds or the flu.

Dr. Bruce Barret, a University of Wisconsin physician heading up the study says that although scientists know meditation reduces stress and exercise can prevent chronic diseases, they don’t yet know if either activity makes the immune system better able to fight respiratory infections.

So the objective of the study is to see whether the immune system can be influenced to protect against cold and flu.

But I wondered, why wait for science to prove something that seems pretty obvious. Tibetan monks and other eastern mystics have long used meditation and yoga to keep young, healthy and fit. I began incorporating Tibetan chakra rejuvenation practices a while back, and since then have enjoyed good health and experience a strong immune system.

Here is an excellent guide on specific rejuevenation exercizes and diet recommendations based on these Tibetan rites and other traditional teachings. This package also includes worthwhile bonuses and comes with a ten-week guarantee. A fair amount of time to practice these exercizes and determine if they are helpful.
