After all, can sitting quietly for a few minutes really change your life?
I get it—you might be skeptical. After all, can sitting quietly for a few minutes really change your life? Numerous scientific studies have shown that regular meditation can significantly affect the brain and the body in beneficial ways. For example, research indicates that meditation can produce changes in areas of the brain associated with memory, self-awareness, and stress regulation. It has also been shown to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which in turn can improve your mood and make you more resilient to life’s challenges.
