What are some early benefits of meditation according to research?
According to Altered Traits, some early benefits of meditation include decreased stress response, increased attention and working memory (as evidenced by a study showing a 16% improvement in test scores), small improvements in molecular markers related to cellular aging, and decreased activation of the Default Mode Network.
