SEDONA, Ariz., Jan. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BEST Life Media, publisher of the Award Winning Brain Wave Vibration, and other books on health and wellness and the mind-body connection, is pleased to announce the results of a recent study concerning the Brain Wave Vibration meditation method.  In a study appearing in Volume 2012 of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Article ID 234713 a team including researchers from the University of London and the Korea Institute of Brain Science report the results of their assessment of the comparative effects of Brain Wave Vibration, Iyengar Yoga and Mindfulness training on mood, well-being and immune function.

Created by author and world-renowned meditation teacher, Ilchi Lee, this unique form of meditation is based in a combination of Korean tradition and modern understanding of the human brain. Brain Wave Vibration is a moving meditation involving movements of the head, neck and body and is designed to relax mind and body.  It is considered most beneficial when practiced in combination with other yoga exercises.

A previous study showed how Brain Wave Vibration has positive effects on regulating stress, but the current study looks more deeply at the benefits of the practice. Participants in the University of London study practiced the method as part of a 5-week program and experienced mental benefits, comparative to Mindfulness training, and physical and emotional benefits, comparative to Iyengar yoga.

Brain Wave Vibration was introduced to many people with BEST Life Media's 2008 publication of the Ilchi Lee book  by the same name. Since that time many people have reported benefits from practicing Brain Wave Vibration, which the study now documents and supports. For example, the researchers noted evidence of "[a]n improvement in sleep [that] has been a common anecdotal report by Brain Wave Vibration practitioners, as has increase in energy and vitality." In effect, Brain Wave Vibration was unique in its benefits to depression and sleep latency in study participants. The researchers concluded that the results of this first controlled trial for this unique form of mind-body training were sufficiently provocative to warrant further investigation.
