Meditation: Explore What Resides Within
We all want to feel better, to be more relaxed and engage positively with family, friends, and others. Meditation can help. It has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety and to lower frustration toward others by helping us stay in a rest and relaxation mode instead of entering a fight or flight mode.
Meditation is a 2000 year old practice that, with consistent practice, can bring physical, mental and emotional relief. Your life’s outcome can be altered by using meditation to learn to follow “your inner core” which offers self-direction.

Why meditate?
Mayo clinic offers benefits of meditation, these benefits show the positive impact that meditation extends to the human body, mind, and spirit.
Meditation is impactful! It can be one of the most significant enhancements to your well-being and is obtainable by every person on this planet. People who have entered the evening of their lives may wonder if they can also benefit from meditation. A recent study indicates that age-related decline in fluid intelligence is slower in yoga practitioners and meditation practitioners. These practitioners also have more efficient and resilient functional brain networks than matched controls.
Meditation has been shown to:
Meditation cannot eliminate the physical and mental stresses we experience daily due to overstimulation, particularly in this age of technology, but it can influence how we adapt to them and influence the outcomes. It can make significant improvements in our wellness and prepare us to finish well physically and mentally. By increasing the connection between mind, body, and spirit, balance can be maintained.

Expert Analysis
From the abstract of "Fluid intelligence and brain functional organization in aging yoga and meditation practitioners" (Tim Gard, Maxime Taquet, et al):
"Numerous studies have documented the normal age-related decline of neural structure, function, and cognitive performance. Preliminary evidence suggests that meditation may reduce decline in specific cognitive domains and in brain structure. Here we extended this research by investigating the relation between age and fluid intelligence and resting state brain functional network architecture using graph theory, in middle-aged yoga and meditation practitioners, and matched controls. Fluid intelligence declined slower in yoga practitioners and meditators combined than in controls. Resting state functional networks of yoga practitioners and meditators combined were more integrated and more resilient to damage than those of controls. Furthermore, mindfulness was positively correlated with fluid intelligence, resilience, and global network efficiency. These findings reveal the possibility to increase resilience and to slow the decline of fluid intelligence and brain functional architecture and suggest that mindfulness plays a mechanistic role in this preservation."
