New scientific studies are beginning to show that meditation may have specific beneficial effects for helping patients cope with certain diseases and the stress associated with them, particularly chronic diseases; and that biological processes underlying some of these diseases may be effected in beneficial ways by the practice of meditation.Complete information about this meeting can be found in the Investigating the Mind-Body Connection program brochure PDF available for download at:http://www.mindandlife.org/mayo08.brochure.pdf
