Meditation-The WOW Factor: Younger, Thinner, Healthier and More...at Simsbury Public Library
Dr. Matthew Raider will talk about how meditation keeps you young even as your body ages.
Based on his own 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. He will also explore the eternal nature of consciousness and explain how you can experience it for yourself. 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, Dr. Raider is currently coordinating director of the Geriatric Teaching Program in Family Medicine at Middlesex Hospital in Connecticut. This program is co-sponsored by the Simsbury Public Library and Simsbury Senior Center, but all ages are welcome to attend.
This event will take place on Thursday, August 11, 2016 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at the Simsbury Public Library, 725 Hopmeadow St. Free and open to all. Register with the Senior Center at 860-658-3273.
