GROW SOME BRAIN ALREADY

i think i hang out too much in "alpha" and "gamma"....spacey alertness?

i read that meditating for an average of 27 minutes/day increased gray-matter density in the hippocampus (associated with learning and memory, self-awareness, compassion, and introspection.), as well as  decreased gray-matter density in the amygdala (correlated with lessening of stress and anxiety).
here ya go, a Harvard study:  EIGHT WEEKS TO A BETTER BRAIN
