"The brain immediately confronts us with its great complexity. The human brain weighs only three to four pounds but contains about 100 billion neurons. Although that extraordinary number is of the same order of magnitude as the number of stars in the Milky Way, it cannot account for the complexity of the brain. The liver probably contains 100 million cells, but 1,000 livers do not add up to a rich inner life." ~ Gerald Fischbach ~

Why Should you Meditate? Results from studies are also showing meditation is activating brain regions associated with the expression of positive emotions versus the region associated with the expression of difficulty and disturbing emotions such as fear or sadness. Repeated meditation activates the neuroplasticity of the brain structure and function for positive expressive emotions, allowing them to be higher. This is why people who meditate appear calm and positive. Their brains are literally structured to function that way. Overtime anyone is capable of this brain change. Other research studies are also showing grey matter of the brain growing over some time in experienced meditators. Having grey matter growth aids in the aging of the brain. This means the brain stays younger as you age! Research of meditation and the physical effects is still in the infancy stages. However, there has been no negative physical effects shown in the research thus far. Although a lot of the research is being done on experienced meditators, it is looking at beginners as well. If you start now, meditation can only benefit you physically, especially in your brain as you age. There is no better time to start a meditation practice than now. A word of caution, if someone has experienced trauma or is undergoing treatment for mental health, I caution jumping into a mediation practice without the guidance of a professional.I hope this has answered a little of why you should meditate. Until the next time. Happy Meditating!
