靜坐是培福培慧的最好辦法，通過靜坐的一級級的階梯修習，可以提高工作效率，增長智慧，使身心強健，對人生與宇宙能夠正確地認識。
靜坐，通過「人體核聚變」，可以大大提高生命的品質。我們每天都在消耗能量，而現代人的苦惱之一就是精力不濟，為什麼呢？因為入不敷出。有人大談能吃苦，但就是不肯靜坐，白白錯過了使自己的人生產生昇華的機會。
如果想得福氣智慧的人，認真修習靜坐，久而久之必然智慧朗發，福運當前。
假使學習靜坐，精神凝斂，則心境日趨愉快，就足以增加對疾病的抵抗力，最後必然能降服病魔，轉弱為強。靜坐使腦神經思維靜止，則又是一種最佳的休息。若是能每天練習靜坐，就可以更認識自己、更自信。找到自己生命真正的價值，對生活會有不可思議的助益。換句話說，靜坐是你與內在的自己交朋友，使你最終走向完美。逐漸地，當你更能掌握內在心靈的世界，你的生命已在潛移默化的開展，漸次綻放光明。
靜坐並不是宗教行為，它是一門有數千年歷史以上的心靈科學。對初學者，一百天為期，如果能嚴格每天定時定量靜坐，決無沒有收益的道理。人們不是讓自己束縛於外在的有限事物，可以透過靜坐，探索自己內在的無限寶藏，讓心靈擴展、包容萬物。
儒家有說：「知止而後有定，定而後能靜：靜而後能安，安而後能慮」慮而後能得。」佛家有說：「由戒生定，由定發慧，」其義大致相同。
靜坐風行美國
美國各地的學校、醫院、律師事務所、政府機構、公司行號和監獄開靜坐班的越來越多，簡直到了「很難躲避靜坐」的地步。
美國人對靜坐產生興趣，有醫學的原因，也有文化上的原因。它說，越來越多醫師推薦靜坐，當作防止、延緩或至少能夠控制長期性疾病如心臟病、愛滋病、癌症和不孕症等等病痛的方法。
憂鬱症、過動兒症(hyperactivity)和注意力短缺症(attention-deficit disorder (ADD))等心理疾病也可運用靜坐平衡過來。
醫師們融合東方神秘主義和西方科學，並不是為了迎合時尚，認為這玩意兒很「酷」，而是因為科學研究開始顯示靜坐確實有效，特別是針對壓力引起的症狀。
報導引述「毀滅性的情緒」(Destructive Emotions)一書的作者柯爾曼(Daniel Coleman)說，過去三十年來，有關靜坐的研究已經告訴我們，靜坐作為抗壓或降壓的解方十分有效，新的研究更令人振奮：靜坐可以訓練我們的心靈，改變我們的腦部結構。
「毀滅性的情緒」記錄達賴喇嘛和腦神經學家之間的對話。
最精密的顯像技術，說明了靜坐的確可以「重新調整」腦部，例如，可以改變讓血液升溫的「交通堵塞點」，疏通腦部的血液迴圈。再說，和動手術比起來，坐在墊子上便宜多了，報導指出。
美國人向來有簡化高深學問的本領，靜坐被他們「去除神秘性」，並且「街頭化」之後，濃縮為佛教哲學裏面的一點：每天安靜做十分鐘到四十分鐘，專注於呼吸或一個字或一個形象，你就可以訓練自己，把精神集中於當下這一刻，忘卻過去與未來，完全接受超現實，從而超越它。
打坐進入「深境」，不但身體會產生微妙變化，腦部亦然。創立「身心醫學中心」的哈佛醫學教授本森(Herbert Benson)在一九六七年就測出，人在靜坐的時候，消耗的氧氣比平時少17%，每分鐘心跳數目減少3次，theta腦波會增加。Theta腦波在四到八赫之間，是入睡前出現的腦波。靜坐者不會真正睡著，卻能保持警覺。
本森後來出了一本暢銷書，叫做「放鬆療法」(The Relaxation Response)，該書說，靜坐者會回避「對抗或逃避」的反應模式，此一模式是由緊張所導致，靜坐者能夠達到更沉靜、更快樂的境界。他說，他只是把數千年來人類一直在使用的降壓技巧，從現代生物學的觀點提出解釋。
此一學說，經過幾位教授的確證，包括威斯康新大學的大衛森(Richard Davidson)。
大衛森說，經過靜坐訓練，腦部反應從「對抗或逃避」轉為「接受現實」，反而更能增進一個人的滿足感。
研究顯示，靜坐不但能夠降低血壓，還能強化免疫系統，百分之六十美國人看醫師都是因為「壓力引起」的症狀，這種研究實不足奇，靜坐有時候還能夠取代「威而剛」的效用，也不足奇。
靜坐的「實用」性既然受到科學的佐證，加上名人如希拉蕊柯林頓等的推波助瀾（高爾夫婦就是受她影響變為「信徒」），難怪時代說一千萬美國成年人「經常」打坐－比十年前多了一倍，打坐成為美國主流社會的風尚。
西醫看靜坐
當靜坐達到入靜狀態時，不僅能主觀上感受到那些極其舒適的心理效應，身體上也會出現許多客觀的變化，產生良好的生理效應。這些客觀變化表現在全身各個系統。
對這方面的研究，是從50年代開始的。大量研究已證實了入靜的生理效應，這裏作一簡介：
一、神經系統：
當練功人進到入靜狀態時，腦電圖發生顯著變化，與睡眠安靜狀態完全不同；大腦皮層主動性抑制增強與擴散，進一步可使感知覺發生改變；調節內臟活動的植物神經系統發生改變，表現為交感神經的興奮性降低，副交感神經的興奮性增強，受其支配的內臟功能發生改變，例如淚腺分泌增多，口腔稀薄唾液增多等。
二、循環系統：
在入靜狀態下，可以見到心率減慢，血壓多降低，周身微循環改善；心臟收縮時間間期發生有益的變化，心電圖Ｔ波幅度增高。實驗證明，靜坐入靜對腦血流量有雙向調節作用，即腦血流不足之增加，偏高之降低，恢復到正常範圍。
對入靜狀態下意守不同部位的多導血流同步定量觀察（包括每搏輸出量、腦血流量、上肢和下肢血流量），發現通過意守可直接影響血液迴圈，完成血流量的再分配。
三、呼吸系統：
入靜狀態下，呼吸逐漸變得柔和、細緩、均勻、深長，呼吸頻率變慢；肺活量增大，使氧氣的更新率提高，毛細血管通透性增強，氣體交換率增加。
四、消化系統：
入靜後，胃腸活動增強，胃電增加，消化吸收能力增強，腸鳴作響，排氣增多；膽汁分泌活動增強。
五、內分泌系統：
入靜狀態下對內分泌系統的影響是多方面的。可使血漿核苷酸水準發生變化，CAMP/CGMP比值趨向正常，為靜坐的「平秘陰陽」作用提供了依據；可糾正性激素的異常，為靜坐「培精練氣」、「培本補腎」作用提供了佐證。
六、免疫系統：
入靜後嗜酸性白細胞增加，白細胞吞嗜功能增高，唾液中的SIGA和溶菌酶明顯增高，機體細胞免疫及體液免疫能力增強，說明靜坐鍛煉可提高人體的抗病免疫能力。
此外還發現，入靜狀態中人體的基礎代謝率降低，氧耗量減少等。
總之，在入靜狀態下，各系統的指標都相應地出現了有益的改變。鍛煉從開始到入靜的過程中，首先是從心理調整啟動變化的，在良好的心理狀態下，神經系統功能向著同步協調的方向發展，進一步通過神經及神經內分泌途徑作用於全身，引起全身各系統功能活動向著健康協調的方向發展。
這是一個從心理到生理，從精神到形體，從局部到全身的變化過程。 Sit-in is the best way 培福培 wisdom through meditation ladder attend primary level, can improve efficiency, increase wisdom, so physically and mentally strong, about life and the universe can be correctly recognized.
Sit through "human fusion", can greatly improve the quality of life. Every day we consume energy, and energy is one of the modern distress bad, why? Because make ends meet. Some people talk about hardship, but refused to sit in vain to make his life missed opportunity to produce sublimation.
If you want to get a blessing wisdom, earnestly practicing meditation, the passage of time will inevitably wisdom Long hair, fortune current.
If learning meditation, spiritual condensate convergence, the increasingly pleasant mood, it is sufficient to increase resistance to disease, and finally must be able to overcome the disease, weakened as strong. Sit-brain thinking so still, it is one of the best of the rest. If they could practice meditating every day, you can be more understanding of their own, more confident. Find their true value of life, life will be incredible helpful. In other words, sit-ins and inner self is your friends, so you end up towards perfection. Gradually, when you're a better grasp of the inner world of the soul, your life has been carried out in a subtle, gradually blooming bright.Sit-in is not religious behavior, it is a mind over thousands of years of history of science. For beginners, a period of one hundred days, if strictly quantitative day sit-in, never without unproductive truth. People do not allow themselves to be bound by limited external things can, through meditation, explore their inner infinite treasures, let the mind expand, inclusive of all things.
Confucianism has said: "There are definite known only then, will then be able to static: static and then be able to Ann, Ann and then be able to consider," and then be able to consider too. "Buddhism has said:" Students from the ring given by hair styling wisdom, "its meaning is roughly the same.
Sit-popular American
Schools across the United States, hospitals, law firms, government agencies, companies and the prison open sit-line numbers more and more classes, almost to the "hard to avoid the sit-in" to the point.
Americans sit-interest, there are medical reasons, but also on the cultural reasons. It said that more and more doctors recommend meditation, as to prevent, delay, or at least be able to control chronic diseases such as heart disease, AIDS, cancer and infertility, and so on pain of methods.
Depression, hyperactive child syndrome (hyperactivity) disorder and attention shortages (attention-deficit disorder (ADD)) and other mental diseases can also use a sit-balance over.Physicians integration of Eastern mysticism and Western science, not in order to cater to the fashion, that this stuff is "cool", but because scientific studies began to show a sit really effective, especially for stress-induced symptoms.
The report quoted "destructive emotions" (Destructive Emotions), author of Coleman (Daniel Coleman) said that over the past three decades, research has told us about the sit-in, sit-down as compression or very effective solutions for parties the new study is more exciting: a sit can train our minds, change our brain structure.
"Destructive emotions" recording dialogue between the Dalai Lama and the scientist's brain.
The most sophisticated imaging technology can indeed explain the sit-in "re-adjust" the brain, for example, you can change to make the blood warming "traffic jam spots", and clear the brain blood circulation. Moreover, compared with surgery, sitting on a mat cheaper, reports said.
Americans have always had the ability to simplify the profound knowledge, sit-ins is that they "remove the mystery," and then "street-oriented", concentrated to a point inside the Buddhist philosophy: quiet for ten minutes to forty minutes a day, focusing on the breath or a word or an image, you can train yourself to concentrate on the present moment, forget the past and the future, fully accepted surreal, so beyond it.Meditation into the "dark territory", not only the body will produce subtle changes in the brain and vice versa. The creation of "Psychosomatic Medicine Centre" Benson, a professor of medicine at Harvard (Herbert Benson) in 1967 to measure the people in the sit-in when the oxygen consumption of 17% less than usual, reducing the number of beats per minute three times, theta brainwave will increase. Theta brainwaves between four to eight hertz, the brain waves appear before falling asleep. Sit-ins were not really asleep, but it can remain vigilant.
Benson was out of a best-selling book called "relaxation therapy" (The Relaxation Response), the book says, sit-ins who will try to avoid "fight or flight" response pattern, this pattern is caused by tension, sit-able achieve a more quiet, happier realm. He said he just put down techniques for thousands of years humans have been used from the viewpoint of an explanation of modern biology.
This doctrine, after the confirmation of several professors, including the University of Wisconsin Davidson (Richard Davidson).Davidson said that after a sit-trained brain reaction from the "fight or flight" to "accept the reality", but more to enhance a person's satisfaction.
Studies have shown that meditating can not only lower blood pressure, but also to strengthen the immune system, sixty percent of Americans see a physician because of "stress-induced" symptoms, such studies lack a real odd, sit-ins and sometimes also to replace the word "Viagra just "utility, is also inadequate odd.
"Utility" of the sit-in since by scientific evidence, coupled with celebrities such as Hillary Clinton and other waves (golf woman is affected by her influence becomes "believers"), no wonder the Times said ten million American adults "often" meditation - more than a decade ago more than doubled, meditation become fashion mainstream American society.
Western look meditating
When the sit-in reaches into the static state, not only to those who subjectively felt extremely comfortable psychological effect, there will be a number of objective changes in the body, resulting in a good physiological effects. These objective changes manifested in various body systems.
Research in this area is from the 1950s began. Numerous studies have demonstrated the physiological effects of meditation, and here is a brief introduction:First, the nervous system:
When the exerciser into the static state, the occurrence of significant changes in EEG, sleep quiet state with completely different; cortex initiative to enhance and inhibit proliferation, further changes can make sense of perception; visceral autonomic nervous system activity changes , the performance of the sympathetic nervous excitability reducing parasympathetic nervous excitability increased, dominated by its function of internal organs changes, e.g., increase in lacrimal secretion, an increase in lean mouth saliva.
Second, the circulatory system:
In the static state, you can see the heart rate slows, blood pressure and more reduced, the whole body microcirculation improved; beneficial changes occurred between the systolic time period, ECG T-wave amplitude increased. Experiments show that meditating meditation on the two-way regulation of cerebral blood flow, an increase in cerebral blood flow deficiencies, it reduces the high, back to the normal range.
Under a state of meditation intended to keep the blood flow in different parts of the multi-channel synchronous quantitative observations (including stroke volume, cerebral blood flow, upper and lower limb blood flow), intended to keep the discovery by directly affect blood circulation, blood flow is completed redistribution.Third, the respiratory system:
Into the static condition, breathing gradually becomes soft, fine slow, even, deep, slow breathing frequency; lung capacity increases, the update rate of oxygen increased capillary permeability enhancement, increased gas exchange rate.
Fourth, the digestive system:
After the meditation, gastrointestinal activity increased, gastric electrical increases digestion and absorption capacity enhancement, bowel sounds, exhaust increased; bile secretion activity increased.
Fifth, the endocrine system:
Under the influence of the static state of the endocrine system are manifold. Make changes in plasma levels of nucleotides, CAMP / CGMP ratios tend to be normal, to "level the secret of yin and yang," provided the basis for the role of meditation; corrects abnormal sex hormone, is meditating, "Pei refined gas," "training of the kidney 'role providing evidence.Sixth, the immune system:
After the increase of eosinophils into the quiet, elevated white blood cell function swallow addicted, SIGA and lysozyme in saliva significantly increased cellular immunity and humoral immunity enhancement, indicating meditating exercise can improve the body's resistance to disease immunity.
It also found that meditation reduces the body's state of basal metabolic rate, oxygen consumption reduction.
In short, in the static state, the index of each system are accordingly appeared beneficial change. Exercise from start to the static process, the first change is to start from a mental adjustment, in a good state of mind, nervous system function synchronized direction toward further through the nerve pathways and neuroendocrine effects in the body, causing the body of the coordination of activities towards the health system functions direction.
This is a mental and physical, from the spiritual to the physical, from the local to the process of change in the body.
