it’s a waste of time I don’t remember
anything do you know I gotta nothing
all right everyone lay down your yoga
mat and get into lotus pose welcome to
watchmojo.com it we’re counting down the
five most remarkable facts you probably
didn’t know about meditation okay
simply empty your mind so take a deep
breath and let all the anxiety melt away
number five meditation makes better
students research into the effects of
meditation in grade school curriculum
has shown that students who practice
meditation regularly reduced absences by
twenty-five percent received 38 fewer
suspension days and lowered their
rule-breaking by 50% further studies at
the university level demonstrated that
even older students benefited from as
little as six minutes of meditation
before quizzes freshmen students
benefited particularly well from the
meditation suggesting a students
entering college still struggle with
self regulation and control without
assistance those who struggle may leave
school so researchers are hopeful that
by meditating students will develop
important skills that will help them
stay in school longer and it may sound
easy but nothing could be harder it will
test your head and your mind and your
brain to number for meditation improves
brain function neuroplasticity is the
ability of your brain to change its
structure and function and for years
scientists thought that this quality was
unique to the growing brains of children
new research shows that we can continue
to change our brain in significant ways
even as adults numerous studies have
shown that long-term meditation
increases both brain mass and the
density of gray matter in key areas by
using MRI scans it’s been possible to
measure the growth of the thickness of
the brains cortex which is closely
connected to attention and sensory
processing other work has found that
meditation can help speed recovery in
the amygdala helping us get over
emotional trauma more quickly
basically the takeaway from all this
research seems to be meditation good
make brain strong oh but wait number
three
meditation decreases memory accuracy and
basically it’s training the brain to be
present we learn to work with our mind
and be present with whatever is here
while mindfulness is a popular form of
meditation that has been associated with
many positive effects a study published
in the journal Psychological Science
shows that mindfulness may have a weird
downside researchers put two groups of
volunteers one that had received
instruction in mindfulness and another
that had not through a
memory tests the results showed
mindfulness participants were much more
likely to falsely recall details
the authors speculate that by focusing
so intently on the present moment as
those practicing mindfulness were doing
it may become harder to identify the
source of a memory they further suggest
that mindfulness actually makes it more
difficult to tell the difference between
a memory of reality and a memory of your
imagination I have to believe in a world
outside my online
I have to believe that my actions still
have meaning even if I can’t remember
them number two meditation can reduce
racial prejudice my father’s from Puerto
Rico my mother’s from El Salvador
neither one of those is Mexico subjects
in a British study from 2015 received
instruction in a special Buddhist
practice known as loving-kindness
meditation or lkm practitioners of lkm
aim to increase unconditional kindness
towards oneself and others after
meditating the subjects took the
implicit association test a rapid test
that measures how quickly one associates
positive or negative words with pictures
of people from another race in general
the test demonstrates that people are
able to quickly associate positive words
with pictures of their own race but have
a rather hard time doing the same thing
for other races we’re not talking about
your conscious attitudes we’re not
talking about your conscious beliefs
we’re talking about something that you
yourself may not necessarily know you
have in this study those who practiced
lkm before the test showed a significant
reduction of their bias score
researchers believe that by increasing
our other regarding emotions such as
love or gratitude we can enhance
intergroup harmony whether an office is
all applicable to prejudice in everyday
life and to what degree is still
unproven number one meditation saves you
money my blood pressure gets too high
man on the tape tells me to say serenity
now you’re supposed to yell it the tape
wasn’t specific when you consider that
even if you have health insurance being
sick is going to cost you money in one
way or another and that there’s research
to suggest that meditation can help you
manage the symptoms of asthma depression
heart disease high blood pressure and
more then meditation starts to seem like
a pretty sound investment for instance
it might reduce your need for costly
prescription drugs research has proven
that meditation can be very effective in
reducing pain sometimes even more
effective than morphine how are you
feeling great
Morphy
it’s also been shown to be more
effective than medication at managing
ADHD finally meditation has been linked
to lower rates of transportation
accidents it must be hard to feel road
rage when you’re at peace with the
universe so do you think that meditating
on kindness and love could make the
world a nicer place
imagine if half of us created a daily
meditation practice and what is
meditation done for you meditate on this
I will
