Tea with Tia, a podcast about health, nutrition, wellness and everything in between
Published studies have documented the many physical and mental health benefits of meditation, including decreased pain, better immune function, less anxiety and depression, a heightened sense of well-being, and greater happiness and emotional self-control. Google Scholar turns up almost 700,000 research documents on meditation, among them imaging studies that show increased activity in brain regions associated with attention, a higher volume of grey matter, and lessened amygdala response to emotional stimuli. What actually happens in the brain when we meditate? Why is meditation so nourishing to the mind, body and spirit?
But meditation isn’t just another trend. It’s a mind-training technique that neuroscientists have studied for the past two decades to prove its benefits for mental health and well-being.
