The Effects of Meditation on the Brain

orm johnson's study is that meditators actually are more sensitive, more perceptive. They have a bigger effect size, but they recover rapidly. The long term effect of accumulating stress is extreme. It causes immuno suppression and nervous disorders. But worst of all, it causes brain clutter. And when we have brain clutter, we cannot come up with the relevant response to the demands of the environment. You see, getting stress s is not the problem. It is staying stress that is the problem.
