Meditation Overview The Meditation program at IM: Center for Integrative Medicine is designed to empower patients to become active participants in the healing process. Research shows that Meditation can contribute to an individual's psychological and physiological well-being. This is accomplished because Meditation brings the brainwave pattern into an alpha state, a level of consciousness that promotes healing. Meditation is known to reduce stress, anxiety, anger, and other negative emotions. Increasingly, physicians prescribe meditation as part of the treatment for a large and growing number of medical conditions.
