Buy Medicine Buddha Medicine Mind Review I loved this book. It explains in layman terms the neurobiology working in meditation practice. I'm a psychotherapist and I recommend it to my clients as a western view of why one might want to take up a meditation practice. Verified Purchase Jones does a masterful job of clueing in any curious, uninformed reader about the positive consequences of meditation practice. She substantiates through referenced research, but also explains in a simple, easy-to-follow manner, how meditation works with brain functioning to create new neural pathways carved by positive visioning. She describes tried and true methods for training the brain to focus on beauty and peace, grace and generosity and, using disturbing events from her own life as evidence, convinces the reader that relief from pain can be achieved. I wanted a book about Medicine Buddha. I ended up reading a book that explains why visualizations work. I am really happy about this. While this book will be especially interesting for those who practice meditation, I think that a bigger audience will certainly find something helpful in it as well.

A big thanks and best of luck to the author, and I hope this book reaches everyone who needs to read it!

Conferences that bring together scientists and meditators are now well attended and influential. the insights and know-how developed by ancient wisdom traditions, especially Buddhism, are now understo
