- Breast calcifications are a common occurrence on mammograms. When calcifications are found on a mammogram the patient is often asked to have additional, more detailed mammograms done on that same day. This may be alarming for the patient. Breast calcifications appear as tiny white dots on a mammogram. They may appear in clusters or patterns or just randomly sprinkled throughout the breasts or in the ducts.
- Meditation may be used as a tool to decrease overall stress levels and to help the body build a strong immune system. Regular meditation soothes the body and mind and helps one focus on the body and keep in touch with its rhythms.

It helps the body let go of stress and focus on breathing and feeling the body relax.
