Maybe you are surprised. Scientific study of Meditation is far more developed in America. The reason is simple. In America many people practiced meditation and has become a disease of the mind.
A medical scientist said "Meditation runs the risk of compromised immune function of mind." That is, human mind has also an immune function. To put simply, it is a balance system of mind. I think you will understand if you make observations about your self. When you get angry, you are balancing. I think you can regard your brain is achieving a balance. When you think of something in a self-centered manner, your brain is achieving a balance. When you lost the balance, you become a disease of the mind.
As for me, I've learn Yoga at university but now I don't do it. As to Zen meditation, I don't do it too, although I sometimes do it though. If you want to freshen up, personally I recommend sports.
Many people get something wrong and think I'm a kind of too religious man because I studied Buddhism and Indian philosophy at university. But I can see them through an objective perspective because they are my subjects of research, but many common people who like mystic things tend not to able to do it. I guess people of religion don't want to deal with me. haha.
Some buddhist monks who are my friends also say people may get the crackers if they don't have an expert teacher. I also have thought I may get the crackers.
So, I worry about resent Yoga-boom a bit.
And also it is said Zen monks in its prime might not practice Zen sitting meditation because there is no evidence they practiced it. If you want to practice Yoga, I recommend you to go to a good temple or yoga school a true expert runs.
It is a photo of Bukou-mountain I took. It is a principal image of Chichibu-shrine.
