Meditation on a regular basis does not only helps individual stay on track, but apart from that makes them pain-free and in good health than ever before.

Being solely a theory, new researches have finally verified and made public the real features of meditation. The incorporation of vigilance as well as dynamism through meditation is still very much known, but latest study has claimed that meditation is even more favorable than morphine in terms of pain relief.

With the help of 75 healthy and pain free individuals, researchers commenced the study by examining their respective pain responses. Categorizing them into four groups named as, mindfulness meditation, placebo or 'sham' meditation, a placebo cream of petroleum jelly and a control group who had nothing, the participants were thoroughly examined. The participants were then exposed to a heightened temperature of heat and were meticulously scrutinized with the help of brain scans. They were asked to rate and reveal their emotional state, including the amount of pain, physical unpleasantness as well as the quality of pain they endured through the process.

The results found by Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre under the leadership of Dr Fadel Zeidan in North Carolina demonstrated that medication aids those regions of the brain that responds to pain every time the participants were exposed to the procedure. Individuals were made to relax and breathe in order to meditate and tally the results.

The jaw-dropping outcomes showed that morphine is responsible for diminishing pain by 22%, but meditating for merely 20 minutes per day can render the body stress and pain free by 27% to 44%.

Furthering the results, the lead investigator claims that the findings had certain limitations as the results are not applicable to individuals with chronic pain patients. The target of the study elected healthy, pain free patients and therefore, therefore, further analysis has to be conducted. Supporting the aspects of yoga and meditation, he claims that four meditation sessions everyday can serve as a beneficial and a convenient remedy for those avoiding morphine on a general basis.

The process can undoubtedly make you mindful, brainier as well as put your misery to an end if proper incentives and measure are taken.
