Meditation: The WOW Factor

Meditation - The WOW Factor: Younger, Thinner, Healthier, and More... 

Based on his experience as a gerontologist and someone who has been meditating for many years, Dr. Matthew Raider will talk about what keeps you young even as your body ages.

Dr. Raider is a national speaker and a contributing author to the book Meditation as Medication for the Soul by Rajinder Singh. His chapter Meditation: 25 Years Experience in Primary Care Medicine chronicles meditation as it has moved from "being considered a fringe practice to now being called the secret to optimum health."  A clinical physician and former faculty member at the University of Connecticut Medical School, he is currently coordinating director of the Geriatric Teaching Program in Family Medicine at Middlesex Hospital in Connecticut.  Join Dr. Raider for this powerful lecture which will include a short meditation sitting.
