Mindfulness Meditation Combats Depression
and Eckhart Tolle's "Pain Body"
Mindfulness or Insight meditation focuses attention on each moment, as in zazen, witnessing, or centering prayer.

The primary brain waves are delta and alpha. The primary neurotransmitter involved is serotonin, which helps explain why mindfulness meditation combats some forms of depression.
Mindfulness Meditation Combats Depression
and Eckhart Tolle's "Pain Body"
Dr. Mark Williams, Oxford University, has found mindfulness meditation combats some types of depression. Mindfulness is focusing on moment-to-moment experiences.

Meditation means relief for some people suffering with a heavy burden of negative memories from the past.
