112: Effective Meditation Isn't "Spiritual" With Dawson Church

<p>In a new book called <em>Bliss Brain,</em> award-winning science writer Dawson Church focuses on positive and negative mood. Negative thinking is associated with the activation of brain regions like the mid prefrontal cortex, the “seat of self.” Positive emotions such as altruism and compassion light up the insula, key to social interactions.</p> <p><em>Bliss Brain </em>reviews studies that provide remarkable evidence of rapid and radical brain change. In just eight weeks of meditation practice, 12 minutes a day, brain remodelling begins. Over time, these structural changes in brain anatomy make us calmer, happier, and more resilient.</p> <p>When we cultivate these pleasurable states over time, they become traits. We don't just feel more blissful as a temporary state; the changes are literally hard-wired into our brains, becoming stable and enduring personality traits.</p> <p>Get ready for some REAL brain transformation!
