CNN's John Defterios talks about his new found love of meditation. He says it all started after he had a panic attack on national television back in two thousand four. His doctor later explained that my drug use ic was enough to change my brain chemistry and make it more likely for me to freak out. And so that experience kind of put him on this journey that ultimately landed us on meditation.
What is the science behind meditation? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Marcia Belsky discuss mental health, meditation, and the theory of consciousness with former news anchor, Dan Harris and neuroscientist Heather Berlin, PhD.
