MS und Meditation

The lesson is that limiting stress or finding healthy ways to process it can be a lifesaver in avoiding multiple sclerosis or alleviating symptoms in people who already have it. One intervention that has shown to be very impactful is mindful meditation, when people sit in silence and allow their minds to untether themselves from any particular thought.

The meditators reported lower pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression and impact of MS than the control group that did not do any mindfulness work.

“The effectiveness of mind-body therapies may lie in their ability to facilitate stress reduction, relaxation, and improvement of mood,” another meditation study noted, “which in turn may affect the degree to which psychosocial factors can negatively affect quality of life.”

Whatever method we find to stay healthy, an honest relationship with ourselves and our stresses seems to be key. “If we gain the ability to look into ourselves with honesty, compassion and with unclouded vision, we can identify the ways we need to take care of ourselves,” Maté wrote. “We can see the areas of the self formerly hidden in the dark.” ...

Dr. Maté, renommierter Suchtexperte, fordert einen mitfühlenden Umgang mit Sucht, sei es bei uns selbst oder bei anderen. Dr. Maté glaubt, dass die Quelle der Sucht nicht in den Genen, sondern im frühkindlichen Umfeld zu suchen ist. In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts, seinem neuesten Bestseller, greift er auf modernste Wissenschaft und Geschichten aus dem wirklichen Leben zurück, um zu zeigen, dass alle Süchte auf Traumata und emotionalen Verlusten zurückzuführen sind.
