I'm reading a book on the physiological effects of meditation and GET THIS!!!
In depressed/anxious people or mood states there is heightened activity in the RIGHT frontal lobes...the area that processes and helps generate BAD feelings like anxiety, fear, dread.....
Meditation has been SHOWN via brain imaging to SHIFT brain activity over to the "feel good" LEFT frontal areas...this part generates feelings of calm, peace, positive moods!!!
VERY COOL!!!
I've a few long posts to make regarding last night's events...stay tuned.
