Zen Meditation Alleviates Pain, Study Finds

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090203110514.htm

Zen meditation -- a centuries-old practice that can provide mental, physical and

emotional balance -- may reduce pain. A new study in Psychosomatic Medicine

reports that Zen meditators have lower pain sensitivity both in and out of a

meditative state compared to non-meditators. The ultimate result? Zen meditators

experienced an 18 percent reduction in pain intensity.
