Meditation helps with lowering high blood pressure, stress reduction, treatment for anxiety, depression, all forms of pain: backaches, muscle pain, joint aches, post-operative pain, neck, arm and leg pain, according to Benson, H., MD, Harvard University professor emeritus, cardiologist, pioneer researcher, developer of the Relaxation Response, and co-founder of Benson-Henry Institute For Mind/Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. "Hindu or other Eastern religious traditions that practice meditation have certain words or mantras...many Westerners, and especially those committed to a form of Christianity or Judaism, are reluctant to use these terms...the use of the mantra, which may include the names of Hindu gods, may actually have a negative effect and cause more unrest and anxiety than peace of mind if you don't believe them" " (Beyond the Relaxation Response, p. 107).
