Two recent studies demonstrate exciting new findings about the benefits of meditation. In the first study, researchers examined brain scans of meditators and non-meditators. The meditators had more connective fibers throughout their brains and less age-related reduction in brain size, possibly due to positive effects on the immune system. As a result, their brains functioned better as they aged.
The second study found that after only 2 half-hour meditation trainings per week for 5 weeks, participants showed EEG brain changes associated with more positive mood and improved attention span. So, meditation can help you feel happier without a huge time commitment to rigorous training.
