Abstract
Elsewhere I have reported a number of cases of regression of cancer following intensive meditation. This type of meditation is characterized by extreme simplicity and stillness of the mind, and so differs from other forms using a mantra, awareness of breathing or visualization of the healing process. Any logical verbal communication by the therapist stimulates intellectual activity in the patient. So communication is by unverbalized phonation, reassuring words and phrases, and most important, by touch. There follows a profound reduction in the patient's level of anxiety which flows on into his daily life. The non-verbal nature of the meditative experience initiates a non-verbal philosophical understanding of other areas of life.Keywords
