Hi, a very good article and I would like to share my experience which i went through. Meditation helps to be as effective as antidepressants in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and pain. Just sit, listen, and enjoy helped me in reduced pain intensity by 27% and decreased the emotional aspect of pain and also make people more resistant to infection.

In reply to Candace L Pendragon. Thank you Candace for sharing your thoughts. I personally believe there needs to be a balance of knowledge and skills that is taught to help people develop into well-rounded individuals that can function well within society.

To value social skills over actual learning and intelligence is part of the foundation that has weakened our culture; we no longer lead the world with scientific developments, we are the only nation that traveled to the moon, yet now the 'society' makes a joke of learning/teaching basic math and science. My next door neighbor is an elementary school teacher and had to 'think it over' when I explained that water runs downhill. What are teachers like her actually teaching?

In reply to Amir Qullikutz. Thanks Amir for sharing your experiences with meditation. It is great that you can work so long and still feel full of energy! I am currently trying to do shorter meditations throughout the day to help with my energy levels and it seems to work well for me!

I am practicing meditation for the last one year for one complete hour. I work eight hours at my project and three hours at my 2nd project. I feel full of energized and sleeps well at the age of sixty. Meditation is my great invigorating force and strengthens my mind.

In reply to Ashley. Thanks Ashley for that suggestion to look into John Kabat-Zinn and mindfulness-based stress reduction. Definitely a good place to start. For me, putting into practice mindfulness is all about 'acceptance of what is'.

Adebayo, also perhaps also look up John Kabat-Zinn. He's an expert on mindfulness and founder of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR).

In reply to Michelle P. Hi Michelle, Thanks for your suggestions about the mindfulness apps. I have heard of 'Calm' and will go check out 'Smiling Mind'. Like you, I also find it helpful to have someone guiding me as it contributes towards bringing my thoughts back to the focus! Adebayo, have you checked out any of the online resources yet or tried an app and how did it go?
