1 SIMPLE STEP TO ELIMINATE VIOLENCE
EFFECT OF MEDITATION ON YOUR BRAIN
According to the latest new field of study, Neurotheology, as outlined by Dr Andrew Newberg in Principles of Neurotheology – Meditation or Practices that involve concentrating on something over and over again, either through prayer or a mantra-based meditation, tend to activate the frontal lobes, the areas chiefly responsible for directing attention, modulating behavior, and expressing language.
Newberg believes everyone can benefit from some type of meditation practice. If one practice isn’t working for an individual, she should try something else. As a general rule, these practices lower depression, anxiety, and stress. He adds that at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, where he is director of research at the Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine, researchers have found that meditation can improve memory and concentration.
