Meditation & Health

Meditation has increased in popularity in recent years, thanks to studies that have revealed a very clear link between body and mind. In fact, a 2007 study by neuroscientist Richard Davidson revealed that meditation leads to dramatic changes in the brain; these changes can result in physical changes as well.

Suite101's Meditation and Health topic features articles on the link between mind and body, the physical impact and benefits of meditation and tips for using meditation as a tool for coping with headaches, stress, depression, anger, pain relief and other ailments. You'll also learn about silent meditation retreats, how to improve concentration by meditating and how to use meditation to promote healing.
