petrushka.googol Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Does meditation override the action of adrenagernic receptors and control tension ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdEarl Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 For me the effect of meditation while sitting in a calm environment, either quiet or with soft music, clears my mind so that tense thoughts cannot exist due to counting each breath. I cannot focus on something tense because my mind is occupied focusing on sitting, breathing, and counting. As ones mind rests on the mundane, ones body relaxes, and I assume ones hormones normalize. However, I have neither measured my hormones nor read about such an excperiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkadm30 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 This paper might be relevant to the OP. Also note that enhanced dopamine neurotransmission during meditation may increase noradrenergic releases in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18615131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
