Research is emerging on the changes within the mind, brain, and body resulting from contemplative practices such as mindfulness-based meditation, tai chi, and yoga. Contemplative Medicine is an interdisciplinary practice that seeks clarify mind-body changes across emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and perceptual domains. Mindfulness meditation has gained in popularity over the last couple of decades, but we now are seeing scientific evidence that supports the impact on the brain.
