A new study in the January 30 issue of Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging suggests that meditation actually changes the makeup of the brain – parts of the brain that are associated with memory, sense of self, empathy and stress, according to a recent piece in The New York Times.
Nina Smiley, Ph.D. leads at Mohonk Mountain House called Never Diet Again, a 3-day program that teaches participants how to make mindful choices based on meditation and visualization. Building Mental Muscle™ through mini-meditations that focus and hone new neural paths, each person leaves the program with life-changing skills – and new responses to old situations – already in place.
Meditation expert Nina Smiley, Ph.D., leads the program which progresses from Friday evening through Monday mid-day. Smiley is also co-author of the popular book "The Three Minute Meditator" and its companion CD. 2011 dates are April 8-11, July 15-18 and November 4-7.
