Many scientific experiments on people who meditate and corresponding control groups who do not meditate, have yielded repeatable effects pertaining to the results of meditation on a individuals body and personality.

Nearly all of the following surveys have made up  of people practising Transcendental Meditation. (Nevertheless, my personal belief after many years of practicing various forms  is that almost all varieties of meditation will bring about the same results)

1. Deep physiological rest is displayed by a decided drop in the metabolism rate, as calculated by the oxygen use by an individual in meditation, awakening activity, sleep and hypnosis. 

2. A different indication of the deep rest is that the number of breaths required to be taken each minute during meditation drops significantly.

3. Good news for those with heart troubles is that meditation is also highly relaxing and restoring. 

4. Another indication of the profound rest brought about by meditation is the substantial drop in the blood lactate level. The lower the lactate level the more rested and regenerated is the muscle tissue.

5. Tests reveal meditation’s deep tranquillising effect through the reduction in skin conductivity.

6. Brain wave measurements during meditation demonstrate a higher incidence of alpha waves pointing to a relaxing alertness. There is a sensation of serenity and yet a wakeful consciousness in one’s environment. 

7. A different scientific study indicated that meditation causes greater communication and interaction between the two hemispheres of the brain. 

8. Maybe the best authenticated and well acknowledged effects of meditation pertain to its power to bring down blood pressure in those who suffer with high blood pressure. 
 
9. In the long term both the heart rate and breathing rate produce a slower tempo as the body experiences less mental-emotional strain and determines how to consume less energy. The body becomes more at ease and more effective.

10. Individuals who meditate experience a good deal more stable health. They have fewer sicknesses generally in their lives. 

11. Studies have also established that those who meditate on a regular basis respond more speedily and more effectively to a stressful event. 

12. Meditation also increases one’s perceptual ability and motor performance. 

13. Studies on high school students depicted that those who meditated had a higher «intelligence growth rate» than those who did not.

14. Memory recollection is also increased by meditation.
