Last month The NYT had an interesting article, How Meditation Changes the Brain and Body, I thought I’d share. It references a study published in February in Biological Psychiatry that brings some reputable science suggesting meditation can change our brains and potentially improve our health.
Brain scans of those who participated in the study which you can read about in the links provided above showed that those who meditated had more brain activity or communication among the portions of their brain that process stress-related reactions and other areas related to focus and calm.
I don’t meditate but the article made me think that maybe I should try to set aside 10-15 minutes and make time for meditation. Do you meditate regularly? If so, I’d love to hear from you and to get your thoughts on the study’s findings.

I guess meditation causes one to focus and can in itself be self conditioning…..so your brain shuts out noise and focus on a precise pattern or mantra…..
I don’t meditate either but I find that do have a certain Zen about them
