health benefits
-
Focus
Mindfulness meditation increases a person’s ability to focus attention and to suppress distracting information through the practice of focusing on a mental anchor such as the breath, sound, or feeling.
-
Stress reduction
Mindfulness meditation reduces amygdala activation (fight, flight, or freeze response), thus, lowering stress and decreasing anxiety.
-
Memory
Mindfulness meditation boosts a person’s working memory. It increases blood flow to the brain, which leads to a stronger network of blood vessels in the cerebral cortex and reinforces memory capacity.
