Meditation Enhances Attention - Scientific American's Street Science

An interesting video from Scientific American on the effect of meditation on increasing awareness. The study's author, Richard Davidson of the University of Wisconsin, has been working with the Dalai Lama to bridge the gap between science and spirit. Meditation, and other practices of "inner work", enable the practitioner to grasp more of what's present, not miss the nuance, and consciously make more productive choices-rather than unconsciously have less productive reactions.
