When the activity in the RPC is higher than in the LPC – people worry and are anxious and sad. If the activity in the RPC cortex is much greater than the LPC, people are prone to depression. Meditation has been proven to stimulate the use of the LPC. Great article –

I notice in your document that there is no record of this in regard to mindfulness meditation. In 2002 at a pain clinic with a psychologist I was doing mindfulness meditation with a group. I had complex regional pain syndrome (now in remission) and on each of many occasions started the session with very cold and pale hands. In every session my hands not only increased in temperature they became warm and rosey. In fact the psychologist and other participants would touch my hands before and after to see if this continued to happen. I remember being instructed to focus on breath and let go of thoughts. Each time thoughts would arise I was to be return to breath. I was wondering whether you established whether the hand temperature of participants was relatively normal for the room temperature. If, as in my case, the hands were very cold to begin, would they decrease as for your participants? If that were the case, for me this style of meditation would be most unhelpful. I was of the opinion that, as CRPS involves the autonomic nervous system that meditation was bringing about a balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic producing the vascular change. The pain in my hands was reduced with the warmth. Hope you don't mind my comment. Very interesting. I notice in your document that there is no record of this in regard to mindfulness meditation.
