Where Science Ends and Wonder Begins in Park View, Ajman
When Herbert Benson at Harvard Medical School first described the "relaxation response" — a physiological state opposite to the stress response that could be induced by meditation and prayer — he opened a door between the worlds of science and spirituality that has never fully closed. Decades of subsequent research have confirmed and expanded Benson's findings, showing that contemplative practices affect not just subjective experience but measurable biological processes. Dr. Scott Kolbaba's "Physicians' Untold Stories" walks through this door, presenting cases from Park View, Ajman, Other Emirates and beyond where the biological effects of spiritual practice appeared to extend far beyond what the relaxation response alone could explain.
