Mindfulness Medication Changes Brain Structure in 8 Weeks [Study]

There's good news coming out of Massachusetts related to mindfulness meditation as a practice able to promote relaxation and a sense of peacefulness based upon a 16-week-study that looked at brain scans of individuals who used mindfulness medication techniques, including people who had never used them before.  The promising results are being published soon in the upcoming journal issue of Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging.  This technique is receiving a lot of buzz with regard to substance abuse treatment and recovery and other types of health and well-being interventions.
