The Neuroscience of Meditation with Dr. Phillipe Goldin August 25, 2009

In this interactive presentation Philippe will explain the relationship between meditation and the brain.
He will focus on the basics of Mindfulness meditation and the practice of bringing one’s attention to the present, which has been said to provide tremendous well-being and emotional balance.

Over the past few years, meditation has begun being used as a treatment for mild anxiety and depression. Scientific studies have followed suit, illustrating how meditation “re-wires” neural systems related to attention and emotion.

In this highly experiential discussion Philippe will guide us in specific short meditations and then relay the results from scientific studies.
