Within a month or two, my pressure had normalized, and has stayed normal for 30 years with continued regular meditation. At a recent checkup, my blood pressure read 120/60. Not bad for a kid, let alone a 69 year old.

The book rolls out an impressive volume of scientific studies to support how simple methods from an ancient tradition has significant medical relevance in the 21st century. The meditation technique is so valid, in fact, that the National Institutes of Health continues to fund ongoing research, as the authors indicate.
The power of the techniques described in this book goes way beyond heart health, to happiness, relationships, productivity, and quality of life. If more people practiced these techniques, instead of popping pills, the collective health of this country would surely rise from its present sorry state, and health care costs wouldn’t take such a massive bite out of the American economy.
