What is the relationship between meditation and health?

Synthesized from Source definition

"When the mind is healed through meditation, the roots of disease dissolve, revealing that true health arises from within."

According to Osho, meditation powerfully supports health because most illness arises in the mind; when the mind is healed, the root of disease dissolves. Dynamic methods—vigorous breathing (bhastrika) to flood the lungs with prana, emotional catharsis to discharge repressions, and settling into silent awareness where the unstruck sound (Om) is heard—rebalance energy and produce profound, measurable benefits for the body.
Meditation calms your mind, clears stuck breath and feelings, and tunes you to a healing inner sound, so your body works better.

- Simple daily breathwork and release practices boost energy and immunity.
