BETTER CARE THROUGH MEDITATION
esearchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center, in New
York, suggest that primary care prac- titioners can improve their communi- cations skills and quality of care via training in mindfulness meditation. A majority of the doctors participating in a recent study reported experienc- ing an improved capacity to listen more attentively and respond more ef- fectively to others, and do it in a more non-judgmental frame of mind. The scientists found that both doctors and their patients believed the quality of care improved following the training.

A WINNING COMBINATION
istening to our favorite music, what- ever the genre, can increase both our
enjoyment of and performance levels in competitive sports participation. Keele University researchers, presenting these findings at the 2012 British Psychological Society annual conference, noted that playing selected tunes reduces perceived exertion levels, plus increases one’s sense of being “in the zone”. The greatest ef- fects were found with music used during structured training sessions. Previous studies showing that motivational music in general boosts performance did not include exploring the effects of listening to one’s favorite music.
