DID YOU KNOW that the positive effects of meditation become embedded in your brain and you continue to receive these beneficial and measurable changes?
“Although the practice of meditation is associated with a sense of
peacefulness and physical relaxation, practitioners have long claimed
that meditation also provides cognitive and psychological benefits that
persist throughout the day,” says study senior author Sara Lazar of the MGH Psychiatric Neuroimaging Research Program and a Harvard Medical School
instructor in psychology. “This study demonstrates that changes in
brain structure may underlie some of these reported improvements and
that people are not just feeling better because they are spending time
relaxing.”
Imagine how calm and centered you can stay in stressful situations after practicing meditation at home or in a group workshop. Studies that have been done on people who practice meditation verses people who do not practice meditation show differences in the brain regions connected with emotional integration and areas associated with attention. These studies also suggest that the longer-term meditation practices create a deeper and more significant improvement in your brain.
Who doesn't want less anxiety and stress in their life? Start now and reap the benefits in your personal life and in your Family life. Choose the meditation technique you connect with and take 20 minutes a day to become mindful and bring awareness in your schedule. It takes practice so do not get discouraged. You are creating a new, healthy habit in your life that will bring you an inner peace you cannot find anywhere else. A new and happy you.
