meditation and the brain
November 13, 2005Many years ago, a co-worker was discussing the merits of meditation, and stated that he felt certain that meditating twice daily made him smarter.
After hearing this, another colleague, who didn’t meditate, laughed and said he sure hoped the first guy was getting smarter, but he thought it was attributed to age.
A new study from Yale, Harvard, MIT, and Massachusetts General Hospital reveals that meditation increases the gray matter in brains.
The study was a small one, using participants from ordinary walks of life, meditating 40 minutes a day.
