meditating for over 10 hours a day
************
Having that much time in a day to meditate must mean they don’t have stressful jobs and probably don’t have to worry about earning a living.

so does daydreaming at least partially activate SOME of the meditation genes?
My kids won’t let me sit on a chair for more than a few minutes at a time.
Good article, thanks.
I’ve found meditation 🧘♂️ very helpful in making me more aware with less anxiety. It helps me think more clearly.
I learned how to do transcendental meditation in the mid-70’s. My grades improved dramatically. I should mention, however, that I quit smoking cannabis. That obviously helped me think more clearly. I took a class to learn TM.
I soured on TM after I found out that Maharishi Mahash Yogi was starting to sell siddhi classes where you would learn to levitate and walk through walls. My source for this info was Time magazine.
In the mid-00’s I learned how to do do mindful meditation from books. I was going through a hard time then, and practicing meditation really helped get me through it. And, it made me a better employee.
I still meditate 1-3 times a day, but only for a few minutes at a time. Even this is helping me. I believe Paul McCartney still practices TM, which I found interesting.
During the tightly controlled retreat, participants remained in silence for eight days, meditated over 10 hours a day, ate only vegan meals, and maintained a healthy amount of sleep each night.

I have no doubt a positive mental attitude contributes to one’s health, but eating healthy (not necessarily vegan, but no junk food) and getting a good night’s rest also helps with one’s overall health.

I believe it, especially if you claim God’s healing power as Praying Medic recommends.
How about 10 hours nightly (in bed)
