Mindfulness meditation alters neurophysiological characteristics that are linked to anxiety and depression
The purpose of meditation is to begin to take charge of your mind, to master your mind. Only when you begin to master your mind can you begin to master your life. A regular sit-down meditation practice is fundamental to that.
Scientists have found that mindfulness meditation alters the neurophysiological characteristics that are linked to anxiety and depression. The practice of mindfulness meditation lowers anxiety and depressive tendencies, reduces stress and strengths cognitive skills.
The article by Eric W. Dolan, Mindfulness meditation alters neurophysiological characteristics that are linked to anxiety and depression, was first published in the Journal of Psychology in August 2019. It sheds light on the appropriateness and effectiveness of mindfulness meditation.
There is a great variety of mindfulness meditation techniques available on Sattva Connect. Start a daily meditation practice and learn a specific meditation technique, or listen to a guided meditation.
