Releasing the Grip
Description
In 2011, Harvard Medical College’s Sara Lazar demonstrated that a mere eight weeks of meditation can change brain structure. What advances in understanding the effects of meditation on the brain have been made since then? This conversation follows a short filmed portrait of Sharon Salzberg “On Meditation”, part of an on-going series first introduced during last year’s Brainwave. Sharon Salzberg, a teacher of meditation for more than 30 years, co-founded the Insight Meditation Society, the Forest Refuge, and the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies. Sharon’s work is based on the practices of mindfulness and metta, (loving kindness), the aim of which is to cultivate love and compassion both for ourselves and for others.
