Recently, a self reported study of 536 individuals who incorporated Inner Engineering practices into their daily routines showed significant health benefits for a wide variety of diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, gastrointestinal disease, hypertension, depression, anxiety and obesity."Many participants experienced a reduction and discontinuation of disease as well as medications. For example, 72% of respondents suffering from asthma noted improvement of symptoms after Inner Engineering, and 87% of those with depression noted improvement. With respect to both of these diseases, approximately one-half of those noting improvement also eliminated medications. Even after a few months of participation, Inner Engineering may help tangibly reduce costs with respect to hospital admissions, outpatient clinic visits and medicines. Best of all, members will experience an improved sense of well being, given that the study respondents described above also noted increased feelings of inner peace (91%), productivity (70%) and emotional balance (87%)."Inner Engineering is a two part program.
