Taking a Peek at the Science Behind Mindful Meditation

 You know that feeling when you're trying to meditate but your mind is like a squirrel on caffeine? Well, turns out, with practice, mindfulness can actually change your brain activity! A meta-analysis study examined the brain activity associated with practicing mindful meditation and found some pretty cool results.

Here's what went down in the world of mindfulness:

  • 🧘‍♀️ The study looked at 21 fMRI studies examining mindful meditation, with 11 using novice participants and 12 using experienced meditators (talk about zen masters!)

  • 🧠 Across all contrasts, foci of consistent activity related to mindful meditation were found in the frontal regions, anterior cingulate, and insula (fancy brain talk for "mindfulness is legit")

  • 🤯 In contrasts utilizing novice participants, a focus was found in the insula, while foci in the medial frontal gyrus and globus pallidus were observed in the experienced participant contrasts (basically, the more you practice, the more your brain changes)

So, if you're feeling like your brain is a hot mess express, give mindfulness a try! It's a learnable skill that can help you train your brain to be your new BFF. 🧠💕
