Buddhism and Mindfulness Meditation

Moving freely between science and sacred texts, James Kingsland, a journalist specializing in science and medicine, maps Siddhartha's spiritual journey and explains how new research from leading neuroscientists and clinical psychologists indicates that the practice of mindfulness meditation rewires our brains to make us healthier and happier, and aids in the treatment of problems such as stress, depression, chronic pain, and chemical dependency. With six guided meditations, *Buddhism and Mindfulness Meditation* is a practical and inspiring odyssey for anyone who wants to use all the benefits of mindfulness meditation to improve mind and spirit, in an intelligent and accessible combination of Buddhist philosophy and neuroscience teachings.
