Many people are turning to the ancient practice of meditation for relief from stress and the amazing health benefits. In fact, some health professionals are prescribing meditation to help their patients deal with stress related illnesses such as, depression, anxiety, trauma and insomnia. If that were not enough, there is now scientific evidence that meditation can slow down the aging of your brain and make you smarter!
According to a Psychology Today article “In a recent UCLA study, researchers used (MRI’s) to scan the brains of a group of subjects who were long-time meditators. They found that these individuals’ brains were larger than their non-meditating counterparts. Another study found that aging people who meditate regularly don’t lose their gray matter as fast as non-meditators. Imagine the implications of these discoveries! Not only can meditation prevent brain cells from dying, which typically happens as we age, it can boost a person’s brain size in several crucial regions. Furthermore, researchers have concluded that meditation can actually make a person more intelligent.”
