Why choose for meditation? Some scientific prove.
Science and studies in meditation has also shown that the brainwave patterns during meditation are increased. The communication between the front brain and the back of the brain are increased as well. This will find place in the gamma frequency as well as in the gamma and Beta2 activity.
The research that is done at Harvard University is done by Gaëlle Desbordes. She is a instructor in radiology and a neuroscientist. With the research they were looking for an alternative approach for mindfulness-based meditation.
What Desbored said about the research:
“There are a few applications where the evidence is believable. But the effects are by no means earth-shattering,” Desbordes said. “We’re talking about moderate effect size, on par with other treatments, not better. And then there’s a bunch of other things under study with preliminary evidence that is encouraging but by no means conclusive. I think that’s where it’s at. I’m not sure that is exactly how the public understands it at this point.”
Studies have shown different benefits of meditation. The benefits count for both physical and mental conditions. including depression, chronic pain, and anxiety.
