The Science of Happiness

The Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) offers this fascinating story on the science behind the benefits of meditation.

~CBC.com by Eve Savory

Erin Gammel is a shoo-in for the Canadian Olympic swim team. Canadian record holder, champion backstroker – unless something wildly unexpected happens, she's going to Athens.

But four years ago she was a sure bet for the Sydney Olympics, too.

"Everyone kept telling me you're a shoo-in," she says. "And we had the strategy and everything was perfect. And I thought this is it, I'm going to the Olympics."

She was racing at the Olympic trials in Montreal. She hit the lane rope, lost her concentration and lost her place on the team.

"It was just extremely disappointing. I was depressed. I was just really sad. I was crying and I couldn't control myself," Gammel says.

Dr. Oz on Hypnotherapy

"Like guided imagery, hypnosis uses the focused power of the mind and imagination to improve health, change a behavior like smoking or achieve emotional balance. In a relaxed state of concentrated attention, ideas and suggestions seem to have a powerful impact on the mind."

Oprah on Meditation

"We believe in meditating. I believe in meditating in the tub with some very nice bath products. You can sit in the chair, you can sit on the floor, you can sit in the window, you can sit in the tub. I give myself at least ten minutes every day in some form of meditation. I happen to like the tub."
