Can you rewire your brain just by taking a breath?

April 30, 2013

Free the Mind is a new documentary about the ability of meditation to rewire the brain. Featuring neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson, the film follows two veterans grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder from serving in Iraq and Afghanistan as Davidson teaches them meditation to ease their pain and help them return to the lives they had before being deployed. Davidson also wants to see how early in life meditation can have an effect, so he creates a program to teach meditation and yoga to children with ADHD. Free the Mind premieres at the Rubin Museum in New York City and will be shown throughout the month. Free the Mind is expected to open in many major markets throughout the summer, so look for it then.
