THE BENEFITS OF MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
In the past several decades science has started to look at mindfulness meditation as a
serious form of medical treatment, at the very least as a complement to modern psychological
treatments. Due to pioneers in the field of mindfulness meditation like Ellen Langer Ph.d. Social
Psychologist at Harvard, Jon Kabat- Zinn Ph.D. of Massachusetts Medical Center and Sara Lazar
Neuroscientist at Harvard University and their ongoing research and MBSR/MBCT programs,
mindfulness practice is now becoming part of mainstream medicine
