I've heard lots of people talk about how good meditation is for us -- and sure, it seems logical. But for those science-minded skeptics amoung us, a new research article will highlight some of the physical changes that happen in the brains of meditators.
The researchers report that those who meditated for about 30 minutes a day for eight weeks had measurable changes in gray-matter density in parts of the brain associated with memory, sense of self, empathy and stress.
A more highly functioning brain? Who doesn't need that??
