These two articles explore the effects of mindfulness on the immune system:

There are several journals whose contents you might want to explore in your search for answers. One is the Journal of Psychology of Religion and Spirituality, with a website at http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/rel/
Also, the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1468-5906
