A doctor puts his mind to mindfulnessManoj Jain, Washington Post, October 19, 2015 Yet I have come to think that encouraging patients to adopt meditation as a way to mental well-being is as important as encouraging them to jog as a way to physical well-being. Half a century ago, only a small percentage of the population participated in aerobic exercises such as jogging regularly. A person jogging in the neighborhood often was viewed as downright weird. Today, the number doing aerobic exercise has increased to nearly 50 percent of adults, thanks in part to encouragement from government, corporations and health providers. [Note - the Quiet Time program is based on TM, not mindfulness.]
