Alternative therapies - meditation

[Guest guest]

I just watched a programme on the BBC (TV) entitled " alternative

therapies - meditation " . There were many references to Dr Benson's

work regarding the " relaxation response " . Dr Benson is also one of the

guests on the programme. Interestingly one group of researchers have

found that not only when people meditate there are immediate changes in

brain waves, but also longer-term changes in brain structure.
