Science Meditation

Over the past few decades interest of science in meditation increased dramatically. Thousands of scientific studies show benefits of meditation. Numerous publications indicate how regular practice of meditation can boost health by increasing function of the immune system, reducing physical pain, decreasing inflammation at the cellular level. Meditation improves happiness by reducing stress, decreasing depression and giving tools to deal with anxiety. Amongst most important benefits of daily meditation shown by science are: increased focus, attention span and memory. Recent discoveries demonstrated that meditation changes our brain by increasing its volume in areas related to emotion regulation, positive emotions and self-control, a phenomenon called brain plasticity.
