Does Meditation Have a Positive Effect On Mental Well-Being?
It is a general belief that the practice of meditation can have a positive effect on the human psychological, emotional, and holistic well-being. During the hey-day of the Beatles, John Lennon is purported to have engaged in the meditation process to enhance, heighten, and help hone his skills in the totality of the  musical genre.
Along the way he gave credence to this  experiential encounter as having powerful mind-body learning and  healing dynamics. The meditation process really does not take a lot of energy because of the DNA that is already inherit in human beings. A biblical passage in the book of Genesis reveals, “We are made in the image and after  the likeness of God.” This is observed by many to be a genetic heritage of sorts. For certain, it is part and parcel of one’s spiritual dimensions.
In the book, The Road That Is Difficult To Travel by Steve Braxton, he states that meditation is sometimes looked upon as a self-help approach. In that, it has the propensity to manifest measurable change in the lives of people. If one takes the opportunity to visit a medical research laboratory to practice meditation, such as the Mayo Clinic or other related medical testing facilities, when the results are measured it could have the following benefits: positive response to managing stress, positive changes in breathing, feeling a sense of centering, balance and contentment — thus leading to a deeper inner peace.
In the end, when one meditates the consciousness of thought begins to access the body’s own innate ability to begin to heal itself.

I agree meditation is a great self help tool. For those of needing to balance our lives and become one with ourself and the universe. I recently started mediation, pilates and yoga. They have all made a difference. Primarily the meditation has been an added benefit.
