Recent scientifice research has shown that meditation practices can cause your brain cells to grow and make you smarter. This reseach is validating what yogis and meditators have know for millinnea.
The scientific evidence repoprted by Richard Crown is that
...meditation actually grows grey matter in the hippocampus. This area of the brain is already known as being associated with learning and memory, and with structures related to compassion, self-awareness and introspection.
Compassion, self-awareness, and introspection. Those are exactly the areas that we target in meditation.
Meditation Practices Can Cause Your Brain Cells To Grow
Richard Crown goes on to say
For thousands of years, metta meditation has focused on growing loving compassion for all living beings. Does growth in compassion come as a direct result of growing more brain cells in the brain’s structures associated with compassion?
After reading this report, it seems highly likely. What’s even more interesting is the fact that meditating caused those brain cells to grow.
He concludes with
Meditation opens up an entire new vista of mental abilities directly associated with changes and new physical growth in our brains. Western medical science is only now validating what Eastern meditation practitioners have known for millennia.
Meditation makes you smarter in ways that you can’t begin to imagine in your present state.
Try it and see for yourself.
What I like about his article is what he reveals about his encounters with such great teachers as Krishna Kantha, Thailand’s living saint and Sri Aurobindo. One of my teachers, George Simon, was a great fan of Sri Aurobindo and I admired those teachings when I was a young man.
"Try It and See For Yourself"
