New Scientist explains that meditation can be very good for your brain.
Meditating does more than just feel good and calm you down, it makes you perform better and alters the structure of your brain, researchers have found.
People who meditate say the practice restores their energy, and some claim they need less sleep as a result. Many studies have reported that the brain works differently during meditation brainwave patterns change and neuronal firing patterns synchronise.
While there are quite a few unknowns, it looks like meditation can be very good for you.
