Mindful Meditation Increases Antibody Titers to Flu Vaccine


Researchers performed a randomized, controlled study to discover the effects of an 8-week training program of mindfulness meditation on brain and immune function with healthy employees in a work environment.


Brain electrical activity was measured on 25 participants before the program and immediately after it, as well as 4 months later. A wait list of 16 was also measured at the same intervals. At the end of the 8-week period, subjects in both groups were vaccinated with influenza vaccine.

Findings revealed significant increases in left-sided, anterior activation in meditators (a pattern previously associated with positive mood), as opposed to the non-meditators In addition, there were significant increases in antibody titers to influenza vaccine among the subjects in the meditation condition, as compared with those in the control group. The degree of left-sided activation predicted the degree of antibody titer rise to the vaccine.

The study concludes that a short program of mindfulness meditation produces demonstrable positive effects on brain and immune function and further research is indicated.

If you start a list of everything and everybody that you appreciate in life, you will most likely find that your wealth is much greater than you ever considered.

A Quick Tip for Handling Presentation Jitters

One of the biggest obstacles to becoming a master presenter is those butterflies that seem to be fluttering around in your stomach before you start to speak. Although you are an expert in your subject, your fears create a fight/flight reaction. Your hands become cold, your vital organs stop functioning properly, and a majority of your brain’s blood flow shifts to the ancient reactive defensive areas that reside just above your brain stem. Your mind and body begin shutting down. You are not your best. However, you can speak to small and large audiences in total comfort and excitement if you...

Mental health disorders

In general, there are three types of mental health disorders with which I am concerned. The first category, and probably most common, involves disorders related to fears, anxieties, trauma, and phobias. These almost always related to learned patterns. Something happened in their mind and body fell to adapt appropriately. The second category is personality disorders. Again, this involves a person's ability to adapt and adjust to the unknown. A personality is normally considered one's beliefs, values, and behaviors. Together these are reflected as patterns. Once something happens that is...
