Press Release Body = Meditation is often cited as a scientific way to reduce stress,
increase inner calm, and improve memory and overall health. In the past, various
studies have shown that the daily practice of meditation can help lower your blood
pressure, decrease your pulse rate and serum cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and
increases serum DHEA. Studies by Ainslie Meares in Australia showed that specific
forms of meditation also led to cancer regression in 10% of cases. A worldwide
movement is growing on the increased usage of meditation for all sorts of health
problems.

A review study by Gelderloos, Walton, Orme-Johnson, and Alexander in the
International Journal of the Addictions has found that meditation is also an
effective means to help prevent and treat alcohol abuse and substance abuse.
Meditation can act as a substitute or replacement for the artificial chemical rush
supplied by alcohol. It also helps people develop a higher sense of inner self-worth
and well-being, which lead to better coping skills. Frequent meditators also
experienced fewer psychological distressors such as anxiety and depression.

Meditation has a greater success rate for the prevention and treatment of alcoholism
and alcohol abuse than more traditional behavioral methods, and shows lasting long
term effects in this area. In genral, people who learn to meditate typically
decrease their frequency and overall consumption of alcohol.
