What is meditation
Meditation is considered a type of mind-body complementary medicine. Meditation can produce a deep state of relaxation and a tranquil mind. During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress.
The basic concept of meditation is that it is a practice that connects the mind and the body. Its purpose is to help increase both physical and mental peace and calm, which also helps you to learn how to live more fully in the present.
There are four different elements that most forms of meditation have in common -- they require a quiet place with minimal to no distractions, a comfortable posture (sitting, laying down, etc.), a way to focus your attention, and an open attitude toward the process.

Meditation is a mental practice of focusing attention to produce inner peace, relaxation, or altered states of consciousness. It is found in many spiritual traditions and can also be used therapeutically. Benefits include reduced stress and anxiety, relaxation of the body, improved concentration, and reduced pain. To practice, one can focus on breathing, an affirmation, or music in a comfortable seated position for at least 15 minutes with eyes closed, bringing attention back when the mind wanders.

The term itself doesn’t necessarily bring to mind images of a serene lake or a mountaintop breeze — we think of sitting silently for hours in an empty room with nothing but our breath and our thoughts as company. But there’s more to this practice than just the stereotypical idea of sitting quietly with your eyes closed and your mind at peace. Let us explain what meditation actually is, why it’s so important, and how you can start practicing today.

Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

The Benefits of Meditation

• Better sleep

• Improvements in general health
• Assistance in the treatment of illness and disease
Meditation can even help you lose weight, cure skin conditions and improve your eye sight!
Clinical research over the past two decades has now proven that meditation is not only an ancient spiritual
practice but a powerful healing tool that with regular practice can significantly improve every aspect of your life.
Once you find the meditation that is perfect for you, you will not only marvel at the difference it makes in your
life on so many levels, you will fall in love with the experience!
Is Meditation Affiliated with Religion?
I love this question… I always feel it deserves a preamble on another question… What is religion?
For some people, meditation is primarily a spiritual practice and it may be closely connected to a religious or
spiritual belief system they have adopted, such as Hinduism or Buddhism. Meditation is a fundamental practice
in most eastern religions, used for contacting or connecting with “God” whatever C=God is perceived to be for
7. the individual; or your Higher Self. In some Christian based religions, the teachings touch on meditation with
Biblical statements such as:
“The kingdom of heaven is within you.”
“If prayer is talking to God, Meditation is listening to God” – Anon
On the other hand, meditation is also used in the business, medical and sporting worlds, for stress management,
to develop positive mindsets and as a relaxation technique. Meditation involves contacting that place within you
that is calm, quiet, whole at peace and rejuvenating.
Depending on your own individual beliefs and the type of meditation practice you choose, meditation can bring
you into closer contact or oneness with the following;
1. Your inner child
2. Your higher self
3. Your soul
4. God
5. Goddess
6. The spirit world
7. Differing brain wave activity
8. The silence within you
9. Your subconscious mind
Everyone has already meditated in one form or another often without even realising it. Every time you have
ever ‘zoned out’ you were in a type of meditative state.
How is Meditation Different from my thought process?
The thinking process requires energy. It is often random and out of control. It is mostly a reaction to stimuli in
your environment.
Meditation attempts to transcend the activity of thinking. When you practice regular meditation you will
become aware that you are separate from your thoughts and that there is an awareness that exists independent
of your thinking.
You will find you are able to choose your thoughts rather than be ambushed by them. Meditation helps us gain
control of our minds and our thinking process we become the operator rather than the victim.
It is here that many people find spiritual growth or even enlightenment because having this experience, must
pose the question: If we are now in control of our thinking, and recognise ourselves as separate from our mind,
which we are now observing…then who is the observer? Who is the WE?
What is the Difference Between Meditation and
Concentration?
Concentration can be and often is a part of meditation. You concentrate when you begin your meditation to
gain focus and quiet the random chatter of the brain. Then, as your thoughts subside, you may concentrate on
something specific to maintain focus, like a sound or a candle flame, etc.
In some meditation styles the goal is to reach complete stillness of the mind and so even the need to
concentrate disappears into complete silent bliss.
11. Sight – Light is important… It should not be too bright. Natural light during the day and dim lamp or
candlelight is great at night
Sound – Playing relaxing music is a fantastic addition to any Meditation space
Smell – Relaxing oils and a burner, subtle incense or even perfumed fresh flowers
Taste – In this case, we will refer to your personal tastes rather than your tongue!
Touch – For comfort, a chair or cushions with soft fabrics to sit on
Your meditation area should feel welcoming and attractive to you so placing decorative items that appeal to you
and make you feel good is very helpful.
When you make meditation a habit in your daily life, you do not only benefit from meditation during and
immediately after meditating, the wonderful mental, emotional and physical benefits spill over into every other
moment in your life.
In general, people who meditate regularly are…
Happier
Healthier
Less stressed
Smarter (it’s true)
Have better skin
Have more energy
Sleep better
Are more creative
And do much more!
So…How Do I Meditate?
There are many ways to meditate. Some people like to lie down and you can even meditate while you are
walking or dancing! The most common position for meditation is to sit comfortably, keeping your spine straight.
Either sitting upright on a chair or crossed legged on the floor. Most meditation teachers agree that you will
experience a better meditation session before a meal rather than soon after a meal.
The general and most basic idea is to focus on something until your
attention transcends the random thoughts and mental chatter that may be
occurring in your brain. There are many different styles of meditation and
as you have already seen, choosing the right one for you will depend on
what kind of learner you are. I will provide you with a selection of different
meditations shortly and the best idea is for you to try them out and see
which ones you most enjoy. It is going to be a lot easier to integrate
meditation into your daily life if you enjoy the experience.
If you are a visual person, guided visualization is very useful for bringing
you into a meditative state quickly. Alternatively visualization may be used
once a meditative state has been reached to produce specific results. For
example you may like to start your meditation by focusing on your breath
and once you feel calm and your mind is quite you may begin to picture
yourself walking along a beautiful beach or gorgeous forest path; engaging
your senses by trying to imagine the sights, smells, sounds, etc.
