Transcript

all right so quick take on meditation meditation is becoming the most widely used and accepted complementary practice it's not new it's thousands of years old but we have good research neuroimaging does show changes in the brain when we meditate research shows that our telomeres those little caps those little legs on the DNA actually get healthier when we meditate when we do longer term meditation so there's a lot of benefits that are measurable which I think is helping make it acceptable to the medical profession but it's also transformative I'm I meditate almost every day and I'm a better person for IT years ago I had a friend who was a horrible person he was hard to be around after his midday meditation he was a much nicer person so meditation is is powerful [Music]
