Mind-body practices like yoga and meditation have been shown to reduce your body’s stress response by strengthening your relaxation response and lowering stress hormones like cortisol. Yoga has been shown to have many health benefits, including improving heart health and helping relieve depression and anxiety. But the cost-effectiveness of these therapies has been less well demonstrated--until now.
Dr. James E. Stahl and his team of Harvard researchers studied a mind-body relaxation program offered through the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. The 8-week program taught participants several different mind-body approaches, including meditation, yoga, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral skills, and positive psychology. The study volunteers participated in weekly sessions and practiced at home as well.
The researchers found that people in the relaxation program used 43% fewer medical services than they did the previous year, saving on average $2,360 per person in emergency room visits alone. This means that such yoga and meditation programs could translate into health care savings of anywhere from $640 to as much as $25,500 per patient each year.

Yoga Coming to the Affordable Care Act
1. Yoga has a strong scientific evidence that yoga promotes physical and mental health.
Yoga can improve heart health, cancer recovery, and chronic pain. Yoga has been shown to improve mental health by reducing stress, depression, and anxiety. Neuroimaging studies have shown that yoga and meditation change the brain and genetic studies reveal that yoga could even impact gene expression at the molecular DNA level and protect our the longevity of our DNA.
2. Yoga programs have been shown to reduce hospital visits by 43%, which could translate into thousands of dollars in health care savings.
Stress is one of the top three health care costs in the U.S., behind only heart disease and cancer. Stress-related problems account for up to 80-90% of visits to the doctor, but only 3% of doctors talk about how to reduce stress with their patients.
A recent study conducted by Dr. James E. Stahl and his team at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital found that people who participated in an 8-week yoga and meditation program used 43% fewer medical services than the previous year, saving on average $2,360 per person in emergency room visits alone. This means that such yoga and meditation programs could translate into health care savings of $640 to $25,500 per patient each year.
3. The number of people interested in yoga is growing rapidly.
Yoga is the most popular form of mind-body practice in America today. One in 10 Americans are doing yoga, and nearly half of people who haven't tried yoga yet are interested in learning.
This means that if yoga was made more affordable and accessible through health insurers, it's likely many people will actually use this insurance benefit.
4. Yoga provides tools that people can continue at home to create lasting benefits.
What is a better investment than a low-cost yoga and meditation program that teaches people skills that they can take home to continue these health benefits? Dr. Stahl, who is now section chief at general internal medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, teaches his patients mindfulness skills in his internal medicine practice and encourages people to practice daily at home. "The biggest thing that people need to do--whether it's meditation, yoga, or something else--is that you only need to spend 10 to 15 minutes a day, but the real key is consistency," Dr. Stahl recommends.

Scientific Evidence for a Connecting Matrix
One of these studies began by having two people meditate for twenty minutes together. They were then separated into two different rooms, both of which were shielded from all electromagnetic energies. One person was presented with random flashes of light, designed to elicit shock responses. The other person, sitting in a different room, was hooked up to an EEG machine. This subject’s EEG readings showed a similar shock response, perfectly timed with the other individual’s light flashes, twenty-five percent of the time. A control group, on the other hand, showed no such correlation. Many interesting variations of this study were conducted, all with equally interesting results.
Grinberg published these results in Physics Essays, a highly respected, peer-reviewed journal. And though this evidence was painstakingly collected in more than fifty experiments over a five-year period, he received a great deal of criticism. In yet another paper he expressed his theory of a pre-space structure he referred to as a "holographic, non-local lattice," a matrix, if you will.
In this promising but controversial paper, Grinberg attributed nothing less than consciousness to this matrix, stating that the "neuronal field [emanating from the brain] distorts this lattice, and activates a partial interpretation of it that is perceived as an image. Only when the brain-mind system is free from interpretations, do the neuronal field and the pre-space structure become identical." He concluded that all individual minds were linked to one another via this non-local matrix.
Subsequent studies conducted by other researchers seemed to validate Grinberg’s original findings. Physicist Fred H. Thaheld, for instance, used Faraday cages to shield two separate compartments from electromagnetic energies. One person was hooked up to an EEG in one chamber, and another person was likewise attached to an EEG in the other chamber. The compartments were isolated from one another, making impossible any means of communication. Yet when one subject was presented with stimulating visual patterns, there was a statistically significant response rate in which the other subject’s EEG showed a corresponding and simultaneous response.
Charles Tart of UC Davis conducted a similar experiment, but instead of using an EEG and visual stimulation, he monitored galvanic skin resistance (GSR), blood volume and heart rate in response to small electric shocks. Two people were asked to meet one another and agree to remaining "connected" after going their separate ways. When isolated in different rooms, Tart administered small electric shocks to the "sender." Even though the receiver was totally unaware of any response at all, Tart’s data revealed that this receiver’s GSR, blood volume and heart rate all indeed reacted to each of the "sender's" shocks.
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: Similar research was conducted by Dr. Yury Kronn in his development of subtle-energy-infused gem elixirs. In fact, the Cosmic Eye elixir has been shown to significantly increase a person's energetic connection to other people, and to world events--in essence "tapping into the Matrix" consciously. Try it!

How do you NOT focus on the pain? By acknowledging it. It is the practice of allowance. You are not resisting or avoiding it, you are simply allowing its presence--simply allowing it to be a communication from your body. This creates space between you and the pain, because it has succeeded in getting your attention, which is the purpose of it.

Researchers at Harvard recently reported a potent way to keep the doctor away. And it isn't an apple a day or a new drug--it's a life skill called
resilience. It's the adult equivalent of crashing into a hedge during your first bike ride without training wheels, shaking the leaves and dirt from your
hair, and thinking, "Okay, that wasn't too bad. Let me try that again."
Mind-body medicine (MBM) is a holistic approach that has the potential to ward off more heart attacks than conventional prevention
programs. That is the conclusion reached by Holger Cramer and colleagues in a systematic review and meta-analysis presented in the latest issue of
Deutsches Ärzteblatt International. They show that MBM in cardiac patients has a positive effect on coronary events, atherosclerosis, and high blood
pressure.

I'm sure you've noticed this in your life: You buy a car and suddenly you start seeing that car everywhere. I used to think because I made
this particular brand of car my own, my mind started making associations with similar car brands that I was not aware of before, even though they were
there the whole time. I'm now coming to believe something deeper about this interesting phenomenon. What if when I bought that Jeep, I became part of
the "Jeep Matrix", and other Jeeps started showing up for me because I'm in that matrix, not because I just wasn't aware of them before.
So much confusion and frustration is caused by this, and it is in no small part helped by marketing and the physical
sciences. For example, a certain supplement is known to contain a certain property, say, ginsenosides. ginsenosides are shown by science to positively
affect overall vitality and immunity. Because you believe in the science and you also observe a lack of vitality in your body, you use the supplements with
ginsenosides in them to heal or resolve the lack of vitality.
I then
woke up one morning and had the strong awareness to just STOP taking everything, and fast for a day. Then, re-introduce herbs and supplements ONLY
after carefully asking my body and using kinesiology (muscle-testing for strong or weak signals) to determine what I actually consumed. I committed to
muscle test everything, including different foods and forms of water. I discovered that my body was struggling with long-term dehydration, and was
expending more energy responding to all the herbs and supplements I was shoving down its throat than doing any actual healing.
