More on ambiently

When I do a Google search for "meditation psychology," I get 5,270,000 results that cover a very broad range of subjects.  Once I've found an article that actually matches what I am looking for, I'd much rather have a tool that finds for me other articles like it, instead of going back to google and looking through the remaining 5, 269,999 articles and sites and blogs and reports and studies...

Ambiently is great because it picks out the articles that match exactly what you are searching for, without you having to come up with the right search terms.

This is really helpful if you are looking for articles related to the psychological and physical effects of meditation.  If you just do a google search on this topic, you are bound to get a lot of articles that only deal with meditation or only psychology... or that have both words somewhere in the site but don't really provide the insight you are looking for.  Once you have found a website that integrates the topics of meditation and physical/psychological well-being in the way you intended, then you can use ambiently to find related sites.  This way, you can find other sites that also talk about the benefits of meditation for the body and mind.

For example, if you are interested in learning more about how yoga increases immune functioning, and you have found a great article via Google or Yahoo, then you can use this article to find other relevant articles and gain even more information on the topic. Just go to the site, click on the Ambient Page tab on your tool bar, and voila! You've got a list of websites that are all related to the subject of interest. It's simple as that.

Hopefully I have convinced you that this tool is really really useful, especially if you are interested in learning everything there is to know about meditation and its many benefits.
