To lower sensitivity of an organism to a pain the technics of zens-meditations as researchers have found out will help. Ancient art possesses powerful anaesthetising force. But also, abirritates and even raises mood.
In magazine Emotion data of the new research which authors have compared density of grey substance of a cortex of a brain at 17 people practising a zen-mediatatsii and at 18 people who never meditated are published and did not practise yoga, and also never suffered from a chronic pain, diseases of a brain or mental diseases.

Scientists caused painful sensations in people by warming of a certain site of an arm, and then by means of MRT-SCANNING have observed, how their brain reacts to a pain.
During employment by zens-meditations certain sites of a cerebral cortex are condensed, and it, apparently, reduces sensitivity to a pain, - as the author of research Joshuahas declared the Grant, the senior lecturer of faculty of psychology of University of Montreal. - we have found out communication between cortical density and sensitivity to a pain which confirms also results of our former research about influence of zens-meditations on ability of the person to supervise a pain.

The grant has underlined, that meditation practice can become one of effective remedies of struggle against a chronic pain at variety of patients. It also can help at age changes of a brain and overcoming of consequences of a stroke.
As it is informed in Wikipedia, meditation in a lotus pose- demands, on the one hand, limiting concentration of consciousness, with another - abilities not to reflect over one concrete problem. Easier to sit and, not paying attention on one thing separately to perceive all surrounding as a whole, to the slightest details, knowing about their presence the same as you know about presence of own ears, not seeing them.
