Default Meditation can induce long-lasting changes in brain function, scientist says.
A very intersting article in my local paper this weekend.

http://www.vancouversun.com/health/M...513/story.html

Quote:
Goleman said in an interview: "Mindfulness seems to strengthen an array of neurons in the left prefrontal cortex, which inhibits the stress reaction driven by the amygdala, that triggers the cascade of stress hormones in the fight or flight response."

Regular practice is key. "It's exactly like building up a muscle. What you begin to notice as you strengthen it is the absence of the negative state."
Sounds like what I need...I'm not very good at meditating but after reading this article I feel more inspired to give it a try again.


Wishing you all well.
