Back in the ‘70s, Benson used medical research to demonstrate the benefits of meditation to a cynical mainstream audience. He coined the term “relaxation response” to describe the condition induced by meditation techniques, including a lowered heart rate, decreased rate of breathing, lowered blood pressure and slower brain waves.
In this book, Benson describes various accounts of myths and stories of some of the amazing feats that Asian Buddhists have achieved in the past. They do things such as leaping (almost flying) great distances upon rocks, and also being able to increase their body temperatures during meditation. It's said that pious monks can be tested by wearing garments that were drenched in ice cold water, and within a short matter of time the garments would be completely dry. He decided to research these things first hand by performing experiments on their meditation techniques. He even provides the actual experimental results and conclusions from all of the various temperature readings he performed.
For a more practical usage, this book is great for anyone who wants to learn some realistic and effective step-by-step relaxation and meditation techniques.
