Dr. Ajay Kumar Nair
I am interested in exploring the nature of consciousness and how our thoughts affect our sense of well being. I have been studying the effects of long term meditative lifestyle practices. However, I am interested in contributing to well being enhancement across the illness to wellness spectrum. I believe that a multi-disciplinary approach is useful in this line of research.
