Meditation has lasting effects on the brain

[Rev. Deb Phelps]

DID YOU KNOW?  Meditation has lasting effects on the brain
 
Scientists just published a study in which they found that an eight-week meditation program can have an impact beyond the meditation period.  “This is the first time that meditation training has been shown to affect emotional processing in the brain outside of a meditative state.”  Conducted by several research centers including Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston University, the study used functional magnetic resonance imaging [fMRI] to look at what happens in the brain’s amygdala after meditation training.  Past studies used neuroimaging tools during meditation, so these results are significant.
