Kourtney Kardashian And Scott Disick To Wed In Mexico

Their relationship hasn?t exactly been the stuff that fairy tales are made of. But when Kourtney Kardashian finally ? and shockingly ? decided to tie the knot with her bad-boy baby daddy, Scott Disick, she chose a locale nearly romantic enough to erase the heartache he?s caused her over the years. ?Kourtney has always loved Mexico,? explains a friend of the soon-to-be mother of two. While her rep denies the story, In Touch has learned she has selected Casa Aramara ? the stunning estate on the outskirts of Puerta Vallarta, owned by Kardashian pal Joe Francis ? as the venue for her wedding to Scott. ?Her family has been friends with Joe or so long,? the friend adds. ?Kourtney has always considered Joe?s home a place where she can really relax.?

Of course, Kourtney?s reasons for marrying Scott, 28, aren?t entirely romantic. ?They signed a $1 million deal with E! to get married on TV,? reveals an insider, who adds that the couple will be announcing their engagement ?in an orchestrated, well-publicized manner? to ensure they get as many viewers as possible. Both ambitious, the pair is excited to be raking in this type of money ? and that?s doing a lot to alleviate the stress between them.

Kourtney also has gotten Scott to agree to a set of behavioral rules, which, if broken, could end the engagement. ?He needs to prove he?s really gotten his act together after the baby?s born,? a source shares. ?If he does, then she?ll give him that big, televised wedding."

Mindfulness Meditation May Help Doctors Provide Better Care, Study Suggests

It Makes Your Brain Plastic

1? of ?9

Quite literally, sustained meditation leads to something called neuroplasticity, which is defined as the brain's ability to change, structurally and functionally, on the basis of environmental input. For much of the last century, scientists believed that the brain essentially stopped changing after adulthood. But research by University of Wisconsin neuroscientist Richard Davidson has shown that experienced meditators exhibit high levels of gamma wave activity and display an ability -- continuing after the meditation session has attended -- to not get stuck on a particular stimulus. That is, they're automatically able to control their thoughts and reactiveness.
