INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
Meditation for a Healthy Brain
By John A.
Patterson MD,
MSPH, FAAFP

reasons why 20
million Americans
meditated last year.
Magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) of meditators’ brains shows

the brain once considered impossible. This modern tool confirms what
meditation traditions have claimed
for thousands of years —meditation
can change your brain, behavior and
health in positive ways.
