This is a good question and one that some scientists are looking to answer. <SPAN></SPAN> Researchers at Harvard, Yale, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found the very first evidence showing that meditation indeed alters the physical structure of our brain. <SPAN></SPAN> In plain English, people who meditate grow bigger brains than those who don’t!</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wellsphere.com/brain-health-article/can-meditation-make-you-smarter/792031"><SPAN>The study showed that the thickening of the brain of older persons happens in a more noticeable manner than in younger people. <SPAN></SPAN> This is a key element because our gray matter in our brain thins as we age. <SPAN></SPAN> The study shows that the structure of adult brains is capable of change in response to repeated and consistent meditation.</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wellsphere.com/brain-health-article/can-meditation-make-you-smarter/792031"><SPAN>This means meditation could potentially be a way to stop our brains from aging.
