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.
