The Neuroscience of Mindfulness Meditation

For those of you who have attended my classes or presentations, you know that understanding the science of why mindfulness meditation practice is so effective for our health and well-being is one of my passions. Here is a link to a Google University talk by Philippe Golden, a researcher in clinically applied affective neuroscience at Stanford University's Department of Psychology who also has a solid background in Buddhist studies. Enjoy this a fascinating talk from 2008.
