Meditation - just a plot to make society how spiritualists want it to be?

Isn't this meditation thing that doctors promote just some ploy to turn the UK into Tibet?
Isn't it only the liberal elite/intelligentsia who meditate? I don't think I know many people who do. Most in China today don't on a regular basis.

If you're going to mock something, at least get your facts straight and do some research instead of stating a load of stereotypes. So its a clear 'no' to your questions, meditation is increasingly becoming more respected by health professionals and I don't know why you'd think only the 'liberal elite' as you put it, would meditate?

Don't get why the morals of spiritualists should override us, that's all.

This is one of the most bizarre things I've read on here.

Have you tried meditation? You should try it. There are lots of health benefits - as celebrities and parliament are realising.

I would suggest you leave meditation alone and just do some breathing exercises instead. It can be very dangerous and can lead to all kinds of problems.

Nobody is making anyone meditate. Don't meditate if you don't want to!

Sorry, but then if doctors want society to be how they want to be, they should grow some balls and be politicians, not cure the sick...

Secondly, curing the sick does involve giving advice and recommending techniques that could help patients. If doctors think it works, I don't see what they are doing wrong by recommending it.
There is no agenda behind it. They're just trying to help people. You're just paranoid.

meditation is for everyone. you can achieve control of your own mind, instead of letting the government and the BBC do it for you.

it would be brilliant if this country was turned into Tibet. without the Chinese torturers of course.

OK, so I'm making an opinion, as doctors should just treat the sick and not preach moral agendas...this is the social forum, so meh...it figures..

Firstly, I'm not saying whether doctors should or shouldn't prescribe meditation, as I don't know much about meditation and if it has any beneficial effect. I was simply pointing out that I have come across doctors suggesting meditation to patients, since bertstare said they had never heard of any doctor recommending it.

We'll have to agree to disagree. It just makes me lulz when doctors say to meditate when it's clear there is some spiritual/religious bias behind it.

I feel the same way about the pills doctors insist on giving out these days. I had tonsillitis last year and they insisted on making me take penicillin. I'm sorry but to me it only seems like chavvy ravers who pop pills all the time.
Isn't this medication thing that doctors promote just some ploy to turn the UK into the Eastern European club scene?
Isn't it only the ravers/students who medicate? I don't think I know many people who do. Most in rural France today don't on a regular basis.

Frogs in the well are ignorant of the ocean. Someone around here is exactly like those frogs!
Human beings can get special power by practicing meditation.
