Meditation isn't only a way to relax or a throw-back to the 1960s when the Beatles first made the practice popular in the U.S.
In fact, in recent years, mainstream scientists have published several studies showing that mindfulness meditation, which is centered on being aware of the present moment by focusing on the body and breath sensations, can prevent and treat depression. Meditation has also been found to help chronic pain.
But what's going on in the body to produce these benefits? According to Brown University scientists, the answer appears to lie in how meditation changes the brain's rhythms.
