The ancient, mind-calming practice of meditation may have a role in reducing the risk of heart disease. So says a scientific statement from the American Heart Association in the Sept. 28, 2017, Journal of the American Heart Association.

Experts reviewed dozens of studies published over the past two decades. The results suggest that meditation may improve a host of factors linked to heart disease, including stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep quality, and high blood pressure. It may also help people stop smoking. An added bonus: it’s low-cost and poses no apparent risk.

You can learn meditation by taking a class (check your local community center or yoga studios) or watching an online video. The practice typically involves quiet, focused attention, during which you close your eyes while sitting comfortably. You then direct your consciousness to your breathing, an object, or a word or phrase known as a mantra. Mindfulness meditation encourages you to focus on the present moment. Transcendental meditation uses techniques that encourage the mind to “transcend” thoughts. About 8% of adults in the United States say they practice some form of meditation.

Les Moonves is the President, the CEO, and the Chairman of the Board at the CBS Corporation. As a result, it can be said that he possesses an enormous measure of influence over not just the corporation that he leads but also the world of entertainment as a whole.

Practices Transcendental Meditation

It is interesting to note that Moonves has stated that he is a practitioner of transcendental meditation because it helps to put him in a calmer state of mind. For those who are unfamiliar with the practice, transcendental meditation consists of repeating a silent mantra while seated in a comfortable position with the eyes closed, meaning that it is one of the simpler forms of meditation that can be found out there. With that said, that could be part of the explanation for why it is so popular, seeing as how it is not just one of the most popular forms of meditation but also one of the most studied forms of meditation by researchers who are curious about its mental and physical effects on its practitioners
