Preksha Meditation Therapy
Normal serotonin levels are important for social development and peaceful coexistence, Higley said. 'One of the things you have to do to get along in modern society is take turns. Taking turns is the ultimate in impulse control. The reason that aggressive individuals have difficulty getting along is that they don't withhold their impulses. Preksha Meditation is powerful tool for controlling the impulses.
The important factor involved in violence is chemical imbalance. When there is an imbalance of neuro-glandular secretions in the body, people become violent. Every endocrine gland has its specific functions. What the pituitary gland does is different from what the pineal gland does and similarly the thyroid and adrenal gland have their particular functions. A harmonious functioning of these glands keeps a man balanced. Any imbalance in the former results in an imbalance in the latter. Preksha Meditation can restore the lost balance.
It balances the flow of the hormones of the pineal, pituitary, thyroid and the adrenal glands respectively.'3 Such an understanding is duly backed by the findings of modern biochemistry. Since violence can be ascribed to hormonal imbalances in the body, meditation turns out to be their best therapy.
Thus it can be concluded that disturbance in Biochemistary of Brain is the main cause of violence which must be treated, since drug therapy not always advisable, diet and meditation therapy can prove to be the best therapy to over come the disastrous disease of violence.
