Is Meditation Dangerous?


The Meditation/Mindfulness biz is an international multi-billion dollar business. Studies have shown the benefits of meditation and mindfulness and some studies have shown that in some cases it can be harmful. Whatever you find on this website and within this blog is for information and further investigation by the reader. THERE IS NO FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO THIS WRITER! THERE IS NOTHING FOR SALE ON THIS SITE, and that means that we like to present different perspectives on a variety of subjects. Why can we do that? Because we don't answer to a boss or a marketing department or an accountant or share holders. Also, we write from the heart with the best intentions. Our reward is the knowledge that we can present ideas and hopefully helpful information with no strings attached. It's very liberating for all! That said, over and over we recommend that diet and exercise and meditation decisions should be discussed with your physician, beyond any practitioner that has a financial stake. There ARE people that are specialists and have degrees and certifications in nutrition, exercise, martial arts, etc. Their advice and opinions are important and everything will work best for the individual in conjunction with competent medical advice.


So, to be balanced, here are some of the warnings:


Meditation and mindfulness are generally considered beneficial practices that can help reduce stress, improve concentration, and promote a sense of well-being. However, like any practice, they are not without potential risks.




However, it’s important to note that these adverse effects are not common and usually occur in a small percentage of individuals. Many people find meditation and mindfulness to be very beneficial.



As with any practice, it’s important to approach meditation and mindfulness with care, and to seek guidance from a qualified professional if you’re new to these practices or if you have a history of mental health issues. If you experience any negative effects, it’s important to stop the practice and seek professional (medical provider) help. Remember, everyone is different, and what works well for one person may not work as well for another. It’s always best to listen to your own body and mind.


Peace
