The effect of meditation on brain structure (2012)
The real benefit of meditation from my perspective is proving to yourself that you're not the voices in your head. I mean, you can't be; since you're obviously capable of observing them from the outside while they go on with their business. What takes practice is staying aware and not feeding them energy by identifying.<p>Once the spell is broken, the conserved energy and improved focus and control changes everything.<p>The mind is indeed a wonderful servant but a terrible master.
