Real science, real benefits.

Shrink the bad parts

MRI scans show that after an eight-week course of mindfulness practice, the brain’s “fight or flight” center, the amygdala, appears to shrink. This primal region of the brain, associated with fear and emotion, is involved in the initiation of the body’s response to stress.

Thicken and strengthen the good parts.

The pre-frontal cortex – associated with higher order brain functions such as awareness, concentration and decision-making – becomes thicker.

Allow your nerves to soothe themselves.

It is the sympathetic nervous system that is affected the most by anxiety, tension, fatigue and depression, and experts have proven that meditation alone can dramatically reduce the many negative effects brought about by these emotions.

Enhance your relaxation, balance your body.

Meditation enhances breathing, increases oxygen uptake, improves nutrient flow, and improves circulation. When you are stressed, tense, & anxious, your blood’s lactate level increases, these levels are greatly reduced during meditation.
