Meditation and Mindfulness

• "The key to overcoming these difficult emotions is mindfulness! Practicing mindfulness enables you to calm down and soothe yourself. " - Toni Parker | Six Steps to Mindfully Deal With Difficult Emotions
• "Meditation [is essential]. And the fact that none of us are told this in school or by our doctors indicates nothing more than a cultural blindspot." - Sam Harris | Why mental growth shouldn't stop in adulthood
• "Levels of dopamine (the neurotransmitter of pleasure), serotonin (the neurotransmitter of happiness), and GABA (the neurotransmitter of calmness) all rise in response to meditation. And in people who practice on a daily basis, they send signals more routinely." - Richel Lit | What Happens When You Meditate
• "Meditation has been shown to help reduce stress and anxiety, but research suggests it can also change parts of one of our most important organs – the brain." - Lela Moore | How Meditation Changes the Brain
