Most people seem to think meditation is only a spiritual practice that spiritual people use to ‘find themselves’. This could not be further from the truth. When practiced correctly it has amazing effects for both your mental and physical health.
In the video you are about to watch neuroscientist Sara Lazar carried out an experiment which showed how meditation can actually change the size of key regions of our brain, improving our memory and making us more empathetic, compassionate, and resilient under stress.

Based on the findings in Sara’s experiments it was found that meditation practice can actually slow down and even prevent the natural age-related decline our brain suffers as we get older. So not only is this ancient practice backed by science you only have to speak to anyone who has meditated and they will tell you that it is a wonderful practice for both mental and emotional development.
People who meditate will tell you how they feel more connected to the world around them and more at peace with themselves. You will probably notice how they deal with stressful situations better than most and are able to appreciate things in life that perhaps most people take for granted.
This is no longer spiritual mumbo jumbo but science confirms – Meditation is good for you and it literally changes your brain for the better!
That’s a nicely made answer to a challenging question
If I communicated I could thank you enough for this, I’d be lying.
IMHO you’ve got the right answer!
I do love the manner in which you have presented this particular difficulty and it does indeed give me some fodder for thought. On the other hand, from just what I have seen, I simply trust as the remarks stack on that folks remain on point and in no way start on a soap box involving some other news du jour. Yet, thank you for this outstanding point and whilst I can not necessarily go along with this in totality, I value your point of view.
Working titles verses the real thing – what a struggle. I would hate to find myself in the position of having to explain the title when the target audience didn't get what I meant. (Although, perhaps I'd only hate it a very little bit 😉 )
