Increasingly, the overstretched and overburdened have a new answer to work lives of gunning harder for what seems like less and less: Dont just do something -- sit there. Companies increasingly are falling for the allure of meditation, too, offering free, on-site classes. Theyre being won over, in part, by findings at the National Institutes of Health, the University of Massachusetts, and the Mind/Body Medical Institute at Harvard University that meditation enhances the qualities companies need most from their knowledge workers: increased brain-wave activity, enhanced intuition, better concentration, and the alleviation of the kinds of aches and pains that plague employees most.
