'Scientists and doctors have discovered that when you are in a good humour, then even the cells in your body are more joyful; and when your mind is in a more negative state, then your cells can become malignant. The whole state of your health has a lot to do with your state of mind and your way of being'.
This is quoted from page 80 of 'The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying' by Sogyal Rinpoche.

To me that sounds perfectly logical and reasonable and indicates that meditation along with a really good balance in one's life of other factors such as proper simple diet, exercise, relaxation and sleep etc, can only enhance life. It stands to reason that it also helps to overcome illness and possibly serious conditions over time. There are those who would require 'real proof' but I am contented with what sounds really quite right. After all, our bodies are a collection of trillions of cells which all have to work together to keep us alive and all of them are controlled by the mind and brain. If we take care of the mind and bring it to peacefulness and joy, our health should improve.
