Harvard Medical School has been coming around to the qualitative and quantitative study of meditation and other mindfulness practices. Their continuing education program is very interesting and worth checking out. Scroll down, for instance, to "Mind-Body Medicine". I will be attending a conference organized by them this weekend on Meditation and Psychotherapy, moderated by Ronald D. Siegel, M.D., who taught a class I took online a couple of years ago. Another good resource is the National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine.
