Menopause

Effects of Sahaja Yoga meditation on menopausal symptoms

A study conducted at the Sydney Menopause Centre, Royal Hospital for Women, Australia, showed that Sahaja Yoga meditation is effective as treatment for menopausal symptoms. Sahaja Yoga meditation was taught for 8 weeks, twice-weekly, in 10 women with menopausal symptoms instead of the more traditional treatment of hormone replacement therapy for the management of menopausal hot flushes.
