Can
you

your

Positive
Brain
Plasticity
Recent
studies
have
found
structural
differences
between
the
brains
of
experienced
meditation
practitioners
and
individuals
with
no
history
of
meditation,
observing
thickening
of
the
cerebral
cortex
in
areas
associated
with
attention
and
emotional
integration,
in
just
8
weeks!
These
are
measurable
changes
in
brain
regions
associated
with
memory,
sense
of
self,
empathy
and
stress.
"It
is
fascinating
to
see
the
brain's
plasticity
and
that,
by
practicing
meditation,
we
can
play
an
active
role
in
changing
the
brain
and
can
increase
our
well-being
and
quality
of
life."

Britta Hölzel,

a
research
fellow
at
Massachusetts
General
Hospital
and Giessen
University
in
Germany.
Sustainable
benefits
Practitioners
have
long
claimed
that
meditation
also
provides
cognitive
and
psychological
benefits
that
persist
throughout
the
day
and
now
science
is
showing
this
to
be
true...read

Present
Moment
Reminder:
"Be
alert
and
present
and
see
that
your
identity
is
not
from
your
past
story;
who
you
truly
are
is
the
alert
presence
that
is
inseparable
from
the
present
moment.
You
are
this,
which
has
no
name
and
no
form."
Eckhart
Tolle
