Patient Worthy team members Ilana and Sunni talk about mindfulness meditation-- what research is behind it, how can it help chronic pain-- but also, what are its limits? They also chat about their relationship to meditation and personal practices, some thoughts on its shifting place in our culture, and why it's super annoying to tell someone to "just meditate." You can learn more about some of the research discussed on the show at these links: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2011/01/eight-weeks-to-a-better-brain/, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2015/05/26/harvard-neuroscientist-meditation-not-only-reduces-stress-it-literally-changes-your-brain/, https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/1809754?wptouch_preview_theme=enabled. The guided meditation was based off a script found at https://www.mindful.org/.
