Research shows that practising mindfulness changes the way the brain is wired, how it functions, and even changes the structure of the brain in ways that enhance well-being, clarity and multiple intelligences.
We are discovering that the human brain is capable of profound plasticity, meaning that the brain changes in relation to experiences. Even our chromosomes are changing in relationship to our experiences - this is called epigenetics.
The discoveries of brain plasticity and epigentics mean we have a lot more freedom to attain a state of well-being and happiness than we ever thought. Mindfulness is a way to live your life as if it really mattered, which involves being in the present moment, open hearted and kind towards yourself.
