Good afternoon.We are back from our drive to Maine and done some shopping. With the long weekend the shopping center,ski area are so busy Do anyone here mediate.The question is should docs start prescribing meditation along with pill and treatments? Most of us popping medication.Some are life savers some are not. I have been hearing so much about the medication for heart burns,acid refulx These can damage kidney,liver,etc.Some people have been on for years and depend on this.Plus some causes bone loss. I have been on for years.According to this.You only need to take two weeks only. Everyone talking about the purple pill for this. I decided though it is too late.To start mediate full time. I do this once in a while but not every day. Popping pills as we all know are bad for us.Some do not have any choice. Mediate is very easy to do.So relaxing.Give it a shot. photo is public domaine

Mediate is good for you and should be done when you can.

Meditation is not a thing for me, too distracted all the time.

I agree that some medications are necessary, but I am doing my best to stay medication free.

I've tried meditation years ago. I'm not one for popping pills unless there are no other options.

I have never really been able to mediate. Luckily, I don't take too many pills.

Most of the pills have side effects, if we can stop taking them it's a great thing.

Meditation is a very good idea I think. There seems more acceptance these days of other methods of treatment rather than just taking pills.

I used to do this when I felt an asthma attack coming on, I would take myself out of it, so to speak. Yes I believe our minds can help or cure our bodies.
