Acupuncture: Guy of the needles

Gerad Kite is an acupuncturist with a list of famous patients as long as your arm. But be warned if you’re tempted to join them – after a few sessions with him life can change in all sorts of ways.

Meditation May Protect Your Brain

For thousands of years, Buddhist meditators have claimed that the simple act of sitting down and following their breath while letting go of intrusive thoughts can free one from the entanglements of neurotic suffering.

Now, scientists are using cutting-edge scanning technology to watch the meditating mind at work. They are finding that regular meditation has a measurable effect on a variety of brain structures related to attention -- an example of what is known as neuroplasticity, where the brain physically changes in response to an intentional exercise.
