Incorporating mindfulness-based practices in our lives has been shown to positively influence our mental and physical health.
It’s more than a feel-good idea.
World-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson and his team at the Center for Healthy Minds have demonstrated through brain imaging studies that the practice of mindfulness leads to changes in the way the brain functions and even in the physical structure of the brain. Research has found a host of benefits such as: reduction in pain, anxiety, depression, and the stress response and increased happiness, and compassion for oneself and others.
