Deep dives
Meditation's Impact on Brain Function and Stress Reduction
Meditation significantly impacts brain function by strengthening the prefrontal cortex, responsible for higher-order processing and attention. Studies show that long-term meditators have thicker prefrontal cortices, key for healthy brain aging. Furthermore, meditation decreases activity in the amygdala, reducing stress responses and promoting a calmer mind. This practice allows individuals to regulate their thought patterns, leading to increased focus and reduced stress levels.
