They do send certain spurts at regular intervals which are always misunderstood, for e.g. sudden backache or cervical spondylitis, headaches, migraines etc. which are/may be due to the sudden spurts of energy produced by solar plexuses or related plexuses. In a nutshell, the root cause of the diseases is the mismanagement of energy due to various factors- dietary, emotional, developmental or environmental. So how does one deal with this?

The word 'meditation' comes from the word 'medication' or 'medicine', which means 'to cure'. 

Swami Vishvas Ji explains, "Meditation creates, calms, strengthens and energizes. Given a restful period of time in which to regroup, the body tunes and realigns itself thoroughly."

Vishvas Meditation is a very scientific process that maintains a regular flow of energy in the body, bringing all the chemicals and hormones of the body into complete balance, hence enhancing the recovery and healing process. This simple and scientific process regulates the flow of energy, harnesses the hidden sources of energy and activates the energy plexuses, automatically controlling the whole body mechanism in people doing regular practice.

After that, the extra energy you feel inside yourself, can be devoted to Human-Service. It is very interesting to understand this and if followed at mass-scale, can result in a stress free, developed and beautiful society.This will give a different kind of peace and bliss. If followed regularly, it will not only make you stress free, tension free but altogether a different personality.
 
As Swami Ji adds, "Besides generating good health, meditation creates awareness and awakening, providing all round physical, mental and emotional development."

REMEMBER

  True Love is the Other Name of Meditation
Swami Vishvas Ji states, "Materialism alone is unfulfilling, unless combined with the inner quest that provides the real answers. The world may not give us everything we want. People, philosophies, societies may disappoint us. But the love and peace we are looking for is right within us. Remember, love which is merely an emotion or a state of mind is dependant on external circumstances. As the external events alter, so does your happiness. But love that comes from the inner realms is eternal, provides unshakeable peace, the outer world not having much of an influence there. True love is the other name of Meditation that enables us to love ourselves better, forgive and forget more easily and serve our fellow human beings, our Mother Land and co-exist in harmony with the international community."

Hence, meditation is indispensable in modern times for good health, mental peace and emotional strength.
