Meditation is not just for the soul! It helps heal the brain
Neuroscience now provides substantial evidence that meditation leads to measurable changes in brain structure and function, a concept known as neuroplasticity. Studies show increased grey matter in areas related to focus and awareness, while the amygdala, associated with fear, shows shrinkage. This practice enhances attentional networks, regulates the default mode network, and improves stress response, offering long-term cognitive protection.
