Just came across a great series of presentations on mindfulness over on prezi. The description reads:
An exploration of mind and matter, how their interaction influences our experience, and the impact mindfulness meditation practices can have on our lives.
I've been wanting to pass on a few things that came to my attention during a retreat last month. I went to a "Scientist's retreat" at Spirit Rock Meditation Center that was open to neuroscientists - the focus being on the intersection between meditation/mindfulness and "western" neuroscience. There was some interest from some DIY folks, so I thought I'd put together some of my notes to share.
