It is nice to see universities studying the effects of meditation. Hopefully, this will spawn more research into altered state phenomena.

In this study mindfulness meditation was shown to improve immune system health. Another study is planned to determine if mindfulness meditation can help heal illness. Dr. Davidson who heads this study, was involved in a series of studies done with meditating Tibetan monks. It is nice to see he is bringing this knowledge into mainstream usage.
