Episode 3: Grey Matters: A Surprising Benefit of Mindfulness
Understanding how the brain ages is a cause for concern to many – especially since we are all, well... aging. That's how life works.
Yet research points to a surprising "Aha!" about how mindful practices might support brain health in a meaningful way at any life chapter.
Listen in for the science going on in the grey stuff of the brain so you can direct your thoughts toward perhaps making it healthier, through all the years.
Be sure to try the short, easy visualization at the end of the episode. It will encourage both mindful thought and neuronal activity in a few important regions of the brain.
