What Does Meditation Do to the Brain?

Meditation has been shown to have a range of positive effects on both the body and the mind. Studies suggest that meditation can lead to changes in the brain's structure and function, including increased brainwave activity associated with relaxation and attention. It can also help reduce the size of the amygdala—the part of the brain responsible for processing fear and stress—and increase the volume of areas associated with empathy and self-control.

Can You Meditate Lying Down?
