Mindfulness Meditation

Today I finished an on-line course entitled "Mindfulness and the Brain". The idea of exploring both meditation and keeping a personal journal emerged from reading the article below and preparing the contents for presentation at Palliative Journal Club in September. The authors conclude only these two practices, out of many possibilities examined, have sufficient scientific evidence to support their use for mitigating burnout & compassion fatigue in physicians caring for dying patients.
Six weeks and several hours of training in the science & practice of meditative awareness later (I listened again and again to the lessons) and I am convinced this is worth further study.
