While some people might view meditation as some sort of woo woo practice which doesn't really work, the truth of the matter is that there is power behind meditation. When a person meditates, your brain waves change. Meditation actually has the power to change your mind, or at least your mindset.
When someone meditates, their brain waves have the capacity to slow down. With proper breathing techniques, beta waves in the brain are more easily reduced. When the beta waves calm down and slow down, there's sense of overall calm and well-being as an after effect.
Meditation affects the brain and its brain waves. Each part of the brain, according to scientific studies and research, is affected by meditation. Incoming information can be slowed down when meditating:
• Emotions are not as strong
• Sensory input slows down
• Over-thinking ceases
• Information overload slows down
There are several parts of the brain which are positively impacted by meditation:
• Frontal lobe
• Parietal lobe
• Thalamus
Imagine being able to control your brain to some degree and be able to relax, focus, and have more clarity. All this can come from meditation.
