Meditation cultivates concentration, empathy, and insight at a neural level.
ozziegontang's insight:
In his PT blog The Athlete's Way, Christoper Begland looks at all the recent neuroscience research around mindfulness-mindful attention and non-judgmental awareness; and compassion meditation. We are learning so much about how the brain is effected by mindfulness and meditation.
At the heart of all this research is the realization that Mindfulness is about a practice that one does consistently.

A short question and answer with Abigail Marsh by Robin Stevens Payes on some the research behind and an understanding of how much and how little we know about Empathy.

This is what the UCSD Center for Mindfulness Conference in February: Bridgin the Hearts & Minds of Youth: Mindfulness in Clinical Practice, Education and Research.
There was a wonderful session with Jon and Myla Kabat-Zinn on Mindful Parenting: Nurturing our Children, Growing Ourselves.
