Un estudio realizado en el 2005 a hombre y mujeres que meditaban 40 minutos
diarios demostró que sus paredes corticas eran más gruesas de los que no meditan.
Esto se quiere decir que su cerebro envejece en menor velocidad, aumenta la
atención, la memoria y mejor toma de decisiones.
25. Lo que pasa en cerebro es
Increase in gamma wave, Increases Gray Matter, and Lower levels of cortisol
Meaning
gamma wave
But research by University of Wisconsin neuroscientist Richard Davidson
has shown that experienced meditators exhibit high levels of gamma wave activity
and display an ability -- continuing after the meditation session has attended
-- to not get stuck on a particular stimulus. That is, they're automatically able
to control their thoughts and reactiveness.
Increases Gray Matter
2005 study on American men and women who meditated a mere 40 minutes a
day showed that they had thicker cortical walls than non-meditators. What this
meant is that their brains were aging at a slower rate. Cortical thickness is also
associated with decision making, attention and memory
Lower levels of cortisol
journal Health Psychology shows an association between
increased mindfulness and decreased levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

Note: high beta waves result in feelings of increased muscle tension, anxiety, stress, and nervousness
-increased high blood pressure
-decreased immune system secondary to increassed stress and anxiety levels leading to over-production of epinephrine (adrenaline) and cortisol (basically, remaining too long in a state of "fight or flight")
-an unfocused, disorganized, and confusing state of mind as brain neurons start firing in a random and unorganized pattern
-engaging in addictive behaviors such as too much internet use
-the presence of self-defeating thoughts, such as, "Do you really think you can do that?" after initially having been excited about a new and challenging project
-increase the likelihood of dwelling on negative past events or experiences or, conversely, imagining a scary future; either leading to increased states of high-anxiety, self-doubt, and neegativity
-insomnia resulting from inability to turn off the thoughts flooding your brain
