More reasons to meditate

  • Neuroscientist Sara Lazar found that people who practiced meditation had more gray matter in the part of the brain linked to decision-making and working memory: the frontal cortex. 
  •  
  • While most people see their cortexes shrink as they age, 50-year-old meditators in the study had the same amount of gray matter as those half their age. 
  •  
  • Participants in the study averaged about 27 minutes of the habit a day, but other studies suggest that you can see significant positive changes in just 15 minutes a day.

You might want to have the physical brain of a 25 year old, but not the thinking. When you continue to do your spiritual work, you can have not only a physically young brain, but the wisdom and enlightenment that comes from putting Truth first. So consider adding meditation to your daily routine. Meditation is nothing elaborate. Just sit and see what happens. Nothing to do, just be.
