Healing with Meditation
Whatever mantra you pick, meditation can help you throw your worries to the wind. In fact, an American Association of Health Plans survey found that 8 out of 10 doctors think meditation should have been included in their medical training--both to help them cope with the stress of their schedules and for the benefit of their patients. From Herbert Benson's classic Relaxation Response to the modern-day wisdom of Jon Kabat-Zinn, we've got some excellent books to help you clear that clutter from your head. Ohmmmmm!
