Regular meditation changes your brainactivity and increases your positive mood and well being.
As the pattern of brain activity of Buddhist monks are different, but they meditate daily through years, a young scientist wanted to find out, if a change of brain activity can be achieved after meditating a shorter period.
He found evidence that there is change already after meditating for five weeks.
“People who had done the meditation training showed a greater proportion of activity in the left frontal region of the brain in response to subsequent attempts to meditate. Other research has found that this pattern of brain activity is associated with positive moods.” from psyhologicalscience.org
This is good news for people who wrongly believed that meditation takes a lot of time and that one has to meditate for months if not years to get results. If you start to meditate, you actually immediately afterwards feel wonderful and happier, which you do any time you meditate. With each mediation your happiness increases, but also your health and your life in general, because you see everything clearer, you are less stressed, you are mostly calm, you work more effectively and there are more positive facts to meditations.
If you meditate daily, your good mood stays morning till night and your happiness will increase. Only 10 to 20 minutes a day and your life will be better.
Isn’t this report a reason to learn to meditate.
