Larry Dossey - Spirituality and Health: What the Fuss Is All About? Pt 1

Recent analyses show that individuals who follow some religious path — it seems not to matter which one they choose — live on average seven years longer than those who do not follow such a path, and they have a lower incidence of most major diseases. Dr. Dossey examines the increasing body of evidence that shows positive correlations between religious and spiritual practice, and longevity and quality of health. He explores how meaning affects one's own internal physiology, as seen in mind-body medicine, and how meaning may also play a role in interpersonal health effects as in distant healing or intercessory prayer, now supported by several controlled clinical trials.
