Science is beginning to show that meditation can have a major impact on the way our brain and bodies function, write Jonathan Krygier and Andrew Kemp.
My thoughts
After reading this article, I learned the impacts of meditating to your life and i'm shocked (but in a good way!) Meditating has many perks when it comes to improving your mental health. You'll be able to reduce blood pressure, lower your heart rate, and have deeper and calmer breathing. You can also increase your immune functiionality and perhaps change the structure of your brain. Of course, meditation also helps relieve your anxiety which helps me a lot, even though I'm so young, I've been very stressed lately but meditating has helped a lot! Meditating helps prevent cellular damage to your brain caused by stress and helps regulate your "amygalda" which is a region in your brain that responds to threats.

Meditation has always been an intriguing form of stress relief to me. Of the many different techniques, this one seems to be the most difficult for people to do. To be able to seperate our mind from the world around us is a daunting task, which is why I am glad that I found this article. This helped tremendously with my education on the subject, and I walked away far more intrigued than I was beforehand. Although I will probably stick to easier ways of reducing stress, I am glad that I at least was able to learn a bit more about meditation and the benefits that it brings.
