Thanks to science the positive effects of Mindfulness and Meditation on the brain are now well recognised. Science has shown that after eight weeks meditation practice we can actually change the structure of the brain. Grey matter associated with anxiety, stress, and depression diminishes while at the same time grey matter associated with calm, focus, ease, decision-making, increases.
