Power of positive thought

A few articles over the past week have popped up on the power of positive thought. These articles have focused on how to orient thought in order to effect a more positive outlook. I have enjoyed several longer stints in therapy and I have found this very helpful to manage my own edgy qualities. MRIs have shown that these strategies of positive thought can reprogram the brain. Interestingly, I wonder how these preliminary data will be applied to insurance support of "talk therapy" which is highly successful in mild to moderate depression.

Perhaps Buddhist meditation is more than a lifestyle, it may offer deeper physiological changes in life. I might have to turn in the cosmo for meditation.
