Die Hirnforschung auf Buddhas Spuren

What happens in the brain when thoughts stop racing? Neurologists can now demonstrate which brain regions are involved in relaxation and how meditation relates to health. Medical studies show that those who manage to switch from distraction mode to mindfulness mode live with less stress and anxiety and can concentrate better. Depression, sleep disorders, and chronic pain can be alleviated. Renowned science journalist James Kingsland vividly illustrates that medical findings and recommendations align with ancient Buddhist teachings. In addition to the latest insights and groundbreaking experiments, this book also offers relaxation and mindfulness exercises that can be implemented immediately.
