I’ve been very interested by a story on the BBC which details the findings of scientists who are studying meditation. You can find the article here. It seems that the days of waiting for hard scientific evidence for the positive effects of meditation may well be over!
As a person who considers meditation to be an absolutely valuable practice this is music to my ears, I notice that they suggest it may help people struggling with substance abuse, and promotes happiness and enthusiasm.
I can certainly relate to that, I know how I feel when I miss my practice for a few days, I feel that my creativity and ability to engage properly with the world declines without meditation.
How do you feel your meditation practice benefits you? Drop me a comment.

Invaluable. Returning from a trip on Sunday, I found my car with a dead battery in the remote parking lot for LAX. I know that I would have been yelling and screaming like a banshee, were it not for my meditation practice–where I have learned a decent measure of equanimity. As it was, I got out in good health, and without attendant heart seizures. Blessings…
