Saltzman-Grecco.pdf. Ron | Aloha Dharma. Going on retreat is a right of passage for meditators. A retreat gets you outside of your comfort zone, gets you to interact directly with others who are committed to the practice and helps you to focus on your practice intensely. It increases the time you meditate from a small daily child vitamin dose to an all-day immersion. Because of this the effects of the meditation can be amplified and people often have their first “mystical” experience in a retreat setting. Many meditators make it a part of their practice routine to go on a retreat one or more times a year for this reason. But long retreats at a retreat center aren’t always an option. Self-guided retreats are exactly what they sound like: you lead your own retreat, just yourself, and do so on your own schedule. To really engage in a self-guided retreat you must be committed and motivated to put in a sincere effort.

Moving the body demands a lot from the brain. Exercise activates countless neurons, which generate, receive and interpret repeated, rapid-fire messages from the nervous system, coordinating muscle contractions, vision, balance, organ function and all of the complex interactions of bodily systems that allow you to take one step, then another. This increase in brain activity naturally increases the brain’s need for nutrients, but until recently, scientists hadn’t fully understood how neurons fuel themselves during exercise. Now a series of animal studies from Japan suggest that the exercising brain has unique methods of keeping itself fueled. What’s more, the finely honed energy balance that occurs in the brain appears to have implications not only for how well the brain functions during exercise, but also for how well our thinking and memory work the rest of the time.
That’s where the Japanese researchers came in. One Half Of Adult Depression Cases Originate In Adolescence. Researchers at Bangor and Oxford Universities have discovered that almost 50 percent of adults suffering from clinical depression have had their first encounter with this particular problem in adolescence, noting that lately depression is more commonly found between the ages of 13 and 15. Professor Mark Williams from the Oxford University says that depression cases are increasingly found in teenage patients, unlike several decades ago when depression was mostly observed in middle-aged patients.
The appearance of depression in younger patients has turned depression into an important health problem in the past few years. Depression The current study was conducted on 275 patients who were experiencing recurring episodes of depression. Researchers tried to discover a correlation between the age of patients when they first became affected by depression and the appearance of mental health problems later in life. Researchers say that depression is known for its recurrence. Like this: Live Mindfully. -Medical and Non-medical Applications - Mindfulness Online Course. Thanh V. Huynh MD, John A.

Introduction. There is an increasing volume of peer reviewed literature reporting the use of mindfulness meditation in medical settings. Mindfulness meditation is derived from ancient Buddhist practices and tenets. Although mindfulness-based interventions rely on meditation techniques to teach the necessary skills for evoking mindfulness, this mode of awareness is not limited to meditation (i.e., sitting in one spot for a prolonged period).

For those who have been following the Mumbai Siege and the news on the New York Wal-Mart mob murder, I suspect you are as stunned and horrified by the tragedy and madness of late. These are (sigh)… challenging times. Yet in today’s edition of The New York Times‘ Week in Review, we read the following: ‘No matter how stressful the conditions, some of us are just genetically inclined towards calm…. or else we learn to manage the neuroticism.’ I’m not sure claims of suffering from high level cortical stress count in a case of neuroticism. Sure, in Jewish and Italian jokes this side of the Pacific, the motif of the suffering mother lends itself to Freudian and Hollywood overtones.
But we’re in the age of a paradigm shift, where cultural stereotypes give way to real time strategies that manage the sweaty, messy corporeality of stress: Crying, Screaming, acting out — the drama of human emotion makes it damn near impossible for some of us to calm ourselves down.
