The medical industry has been slow on the uptake when it comes to meditation. However, now that healthcare costs have reached unsustainable levels, the medical industry is looking to meditation to provide some guidance.

After all, “[u]nlike insurance-driven medical models, this one comes free and is available to virtually anyone. All it takes is a willingness to learn, discipline and plenty of practice.” UC Davis, with the Shamatha Project, is studying the effects of meditation in a program endorsed by the Dalai Lama himself. And now there is proof that meditation can scientifically help people’s health and well-being.

Hopefully, this completely-free treatment is employed in helping people suffer from a variety of diseases currently being treated with costly, ineffective measures.
