Physiological Effects of Transcendental Meditation
Oxygen consumption, heart rate, skin resistance, and electroenceph-alograph measurements were recorded before, during, and after subjects practiced a technique called transcendental meditation. At Club Recharge we combine the therapeutic received with Transcendental Meditation with the therapeutic benefits you receive with Infrared Sauna. The sauna at Club Recharge contains all three wave forms of rays, near infrared, far infrared, and mid range infrared.
Meditation experience is associated with increased cortical thickness
initial results suggest that meditation may be associated with structural changes in areas of the brain that are important for sensory, cognitive and emotional processing. The data further suggest that meditation may impact age-related declines in cortical structure.At Club Recharge we combine the therapeutic received with Meditation with the therapeutic benefits you receive with Infrared Sauna. The sauna at Club Recharge contains all three wave forms of rays, near infrared, far infrared, and mid range infrared.
Stress Reduction through Mindfulness Meditation
The techniques of mindfulness meditation, with their emphasis on developing detached observation and awareness of the contents of consciousness, may represent a powerful cognitive behavioral coping strategy for transforming the ways in which we respond to life events. They may also have potential for relapse prevention in affective disorders.
