How can Meditation help me?
From a Buddhist perspective, we meditate to dissolve attachments to our conditioned (programmed) mind. To have awareness without judgment and remain in the present moment.
There’s an extensive amount of research that shows how meditation can rewire our brain in the regions associated with stress, empathy, memory, and sense of self.
There’s research that shows that 50 year olds can have the brain of 25 year olds if they meditate about 15-30 minutes daily!
Some of the effects of meditation on our brain according to Neuroscience:
- Increases grey matter in the hippocampus (learning and memory)
- Decreases amygdala size (stress and anxiety)
- Increases grey matter in the prefrontal cortex (problem solving)
- Increases creativity
- Increases emotional control
- Enhances self-awareness and self-esteem
- Increases attention span
- Decreases age related memory loss
- Increases love and kindness
- Helps release addictions by strengthening will power
- Improves sleep
- Improves ability to cope with pain
- Decreases blood pressure
