Recent research about the benefits of meditation

'People who meditate grow bigger brains than those who don’t. Researchers at Harvard, Yale and, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted brain scans and revealed that meditators boasted increased thickness in parts of the brain that deal with attention and processing sensory input. Many said, “it reduced their stress, increased clarity of thought and their tolerance for staying focused in difficult situations.'
'Psychology Today'  from Harvard University

 'A 2006 Time magazine article, "How to Get Smarter, One Breath at a Time," notes that meditation not only reduces stress, but it also reshapes the brain. In its reshaping, the brain changes in ways that appears to increase attention span, sharpen focus and improve memory. Sara Lazar, a research scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital, found that daily meditation practice thickens parts of the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for decision-making, attention and memory. Her conclusion is that meditation makes employees sharper and more productive.Based on these findings, large corporations such as Google, Hughes Aircraft and Deutsch Bank are now routinely providing meditation instruction to their employees. Employers, however, also applaud the practice because it not only increases employee productivity but also significantly decreases absenteeism, workers compensation and disability claims from stress related illnesses.'
