Neuroplasticity
take advantage and train your brain
Neuroplasticity?
Neuroscience is the scientific study of the brain and the nervous system. Neuroplasticity – the change of brain structures as a result of experience – is considered to be one of the most important discoveries of neuroscience. Over the last 10 years evidence increasingly shows that not only the acquisition of navigational knowledge by London Taxi drivers or learning a new motor task like juggling, but also meditation practice can lead to significant changes to brain structures. Through meditation (a tool to practice mindfulness), we become better acquainted with the behavior of our minds and we enhance our ability to regulate our experience of the environment, rather than letting the environment dictate how we experience life. With recent neuroscientific findings, meditation as a practice has been shown to literally rewire brain circuits that boost both mind and body health.
This means that our brain's potential is not set at birth — we can actually strengthen and improve our brains!
