Medititation helps Alzheimers patients

Researchers have shown that the Kundalini meditation technique called the Kirtan Kriya can reduce and even reverse the effects of Alzheimers disease.

First they measured the effects of the Kirtan Kriya on regular practitioners. By means of a brain scan called a SPECT (SPECT stands for Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography). The resulting images clearly showed that just 12 minutes of the practice brought renewed bloodflow and vitality to the brain.

Next they trained fifteen subjects with memory loss/mild cognitive impairment to perform the Kirtan Kriya. They scanned the subjects prior to the training. Then the fifteen practiced daily for eight weeks.

Conclusion: The Kirtan Kriya singing exercise reverses memory loss and enhances brain function. This study provides fertile ground for further long-term research on the measurement and research of memory loss.

Research Demonstrates that Simple Exercise May Help Memory Loss... and Possibly Even Help Prevent Alzheimer's Disease
