Each group had a different style of meditation to do. These were Spiritual Meditation (exp. \u201cGod is love\u201d), Internally Focused Secular Meditation (exp. \u201cI am content\u201d), Externally Focused Secular Meditation (exp. \u201cSand is soft,\u201d), or Progressive Muscle Relaxation (technique).<\/p>\n<p>Each subject kept a diary and practiced their assigned meditation technique for 20 minutes per day over 30 days. Weirdly enough migraine frequency decreased significantly in the Spiritual Meditation group compared to other groups. However, medication usage for migraine headaches had a sharper decline in the Spiritual Meditation group compared to other groups.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.m2woman.co.nz\/1-research-find-best-way-negates-migrains\/\">M2Woman Magazine<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fascinating new piece of research has been released which may change the way we consider medication, meditation and even&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-medicine","category-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26\/revisions\/30"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/27"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
