Norman
Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review in USA, published a convincing account
of his dramatic recovery from a debilitating
and incurable disease of the connective tissue in the book, “Anatomy of
an Illness”. ‘Many activities create the chemicals of happiness and
tranquillity in the body.’
Wise gurus, and now modern
research, both believe that meditation can contribute enormously to an
individual’s psychological and physiological wellbeing. It reduces stress,
hypertension, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression, improves
cardiovascular health, memory and concentration, work efficiency, and immunological
resistance to diseases. As a result, some form of meditation has become an
essential part of most holistic health programmes. Your Happiness Quotient is
directly affected by your physical condition. Health is the foundation for a
feeling of wellbeing and joy. It is difficult to be full of energy and
enthusiasm if you are not in a state of positive health.
