The Top 3 Mind-Boggling Quantum Experiments That Will Drop Your Jaw

by


Quantum physics has revealed that the true nature of our reality is much “weirder” than we previously thought. Findings in this realm challenge various belief systems that are still firmly held by a large portion of mainstream science. The modern scientific worldview is predicated on assumptions closely associated with classical physics. This has become dominant in academia, more specifically, materialism, which is the idea that matter is the only reality, despite the fact that multiple experiments have clearly shown how certain empirical phenomena cannot be explained by classical physics.

“QM [quantum mechanics] has questioned the material foundations of the world by showing that atoms and subatomic particles are not really solid objects—they do not exist with certainty at definite spatial locations and definite times. Most importantly, QM explicitly introduced the mind into its basic conceptual structure since it was found that particles being observed and the observer—the physicist and the method used for observation—are linked. According to one interpretation of QM, this phenomenon implies that the consciousness of the observer is vital to the existence of the physical events being observed, and that mental events can affect the physical world.(source)

This is precisely why Max Plank (the originator of quantum theory) regarded consciousness as “fundamental,” and why he regarded matter as “derivative from consciousness.” It’s why Eugene Wigner (Nobel Prize winner in physics) stated that “it was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to consciousness.”

The way we think, feel, perceive, and more are all fundamental to the nature of our reality, to the creation of our human experience, to the existence of physical objects themselves. Quantum physics has shed light on facts that challenge the current framework of accepted knowledge, and perhaps this is why there has been such a resistance towards these important discoveries. These findings have the power to change our world forever.

“We knew that the Earth was flat, we knew that we were the center of the universe, and we knew that a man-made heavier than air piece of machinery could not take flight. Through all stages of human history, intellectual authorities have pronounced their supremacy by ridiculing or suppressing elements of reality that simply didn’t fit within the framework of accepted knowledge. Are we really any different today? Have we really changed our acceptance towards things that won’t fit the frame? Maybe there are concepts of our reality we have yet to understand, and if we open our eyes, maybe we will see that something significant has been overlooked.” –Terje Toftenes (take from the film “The Day Before Disclosure”)

The 3 Experiments

Because of Facebook algorithm changes, posting the same articles can hinder the performance of our Facebook page. Recent findings, and prior findings within quantum physics, are extremely fascinating, important, and relevant. We’ve already written about these experiments in depth, and have multiple articles on them. A brief description will be provided with links to the other articles for more information.

1. The Double Slit Experiment

In this experiment, a double-slit optical system was used to test the possible role of consciousness in the collapse of the quantum wave-function. The ratio of the interference pattern’s double slit spectral power to its single slit spectral power was predicted to decrease when attention was focused toward the double slit as compared to away from it. The study found that factors associated with consciousness “significantly” correlated in predicted ways with perturbations in the double slit interference pattern. (source)

“Observations not only disturb what has to be measured, they produce it… We compel [the electron] to assume a definite position… We ourselves produce the results of measurement.” (source)

You can read a more detailed description of this experiment and see a video demonstration of it in these articles:

“Consciousness Creates Reality” – Physicists Admit The Universe Is Immaterial, Mental & Spiritual

“How Is This Possible?” Scientists Observe One Particle Exist In Multiple States

2. Delayed Choice/Quantum Eraser

Like the quantum double slit experiment, the delayed choice/quantum eraser has been demonstrated and repeated time and time again. For example, Physicists at The Australian National University (ANU) have conducted John Wheeler’s delayed-choice thought experiment, the findings were recently published in the journal Nature Physics. (source)

The delayed choice experiment illustrates how what happens in the present can change what happens(ed) in the past. It also shows how time can go backwards, how cause and effect can be reversed, and how the future caused the past.

“If we attempt to attribute an objective meaning to the quantum state of a single system, curious paradoxes appear: quantum effects mimic not only instantaneous action-at-a-distance, but also, as seen here, influence of future actions on past events, even after these events have been irrevocably recorded.” – Asher Peres, pioneer in quantum information theory (source)(source)(source)

You can read more about this experiment on this article:

Quantum Experiment Shows How “Time” Doesn’t Exist As We Think It Does (Mind-Altering)

3. Quantum Entanglement

“Space is just the construct that gives the illusion that there are separate objects.” – Dr. Quantum (see video in article linked below)

Quantum entanglement suggests that two objects (electrons) created together are “entangled.” This means that if you send one to the other side of the universe, and do something (like spin it) to one of them, the other will act in the same manner instantaneously.

Either information is travelling faster than the speed of light, or the vast distance we perceive between the objects really doesn’t exist at all. Either possibility is mind altering.

Entanglement was recently verified by the Griffith University’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics, led by Professor Howard Wiseman and his team of researchers at the university of Tokyo. They recently published a paper in the journal Nature Communications confirming what Einstein did not believe to be real: the non-local collapse of a particle’s wave function. (source)(source)

Wiesmen stated that:

“This phenomenon is the strongest yet proof of the entanglement of a single particle, an unusual form of quantum entanglement that is being increasingly explored for quantum communication and computation.” (source)

You can read more about it in this article:

Quantum Entanglement Verified: Why Space Is Just The Construct That Gives The Illusion Of Separate Objects

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” – Nikola Tesla

Archangel Michael via Ronna Herman: Demystifying Death.

archangel-michael-desktop1Beloved Masters, on the Earthly plane, humans rejoice at the birth of a child, for it is indeed a miracle of creation, and they mourn the death of a loved one, for they feel a personal loss of that person from their midst.

However, death is also a miracle and, from a spiritual point of view, it is a time of rejoicing, for it is a time of returning to a truer STATE OF BEING.

We have often spoken of diminished consciousness, and most of you are now aware that the Ascension process entails expanding your awareness to integrate all the Facets of conscious expression. As you have often heard, you are not just a human being with a Soul; you are a wondrous Being who has experienced a tremendous variety of physical expressions of consciousness.

In ancient times, when you experienced the material realms in semi-solid or in solid form to varying degrees (while in the Higher-Fourth and Lower-Fifth Dimensions, either on Earth or other planets in your solar system or galaxy), you kept the same form for a much longer time than you do now. In fact, you kept the same physical vessel for thousands of years by your timekeeping.

The transition process and the relinquishing of a physical vessel at the end of a lifetime were as natural as discarding a suit of old clothes. Death as you now know it did not exist until humanity sank into the density of the Lower Fourth and Third Dimensions, and you forgot that your sojourn on Earth was only a very small interlude amongst a vast array of experiences while on your wondrous journey throughout the Cosmos.

After a special farewell ceremony, the departing Soul stepped into a special Fountain of Transition where the Violet Flame of Transformation blazed brightly (the Violet Flame is not hot as you may imagine, but cool and soothing). Then he/she was immediately transported to the appropriate Higher Dimensional environment.

Those who were left behind in the physical realm could communicate telepathically with their departed loved ones, and they knew that they would meet again sometime in the future. They also knew that they could interact while in their Etheric Body with their loved ones during their nightly sojourns, for their nightly travels were as real and memorable as their daytime experiences.

Some time in the future, humanity will cease to fear death and will understand that it is a natural part of the amazing, ever-evolving creative process. There is a natural flow of birth, death/transition, rest and assimilation, and rebirth in order to experience the wondrous variety of shapes, sizes, forms and realities available to you as a co-creator. In the meantime, you must release many of your old fixed ideas and taboos about death and the hereafter, and know that the life you are now experiencing is only a moment in universal time.

One of the most important things for you to understand is that everything you experience begins within. You are a microcosm or a miniature Universe within the macrocosm, which contains the totality of the Omniversal experience. You have been described as a cell within the Heart/Mind of the Supreme/Creator, and this is a valid description.

Everything in Creation contains Essence, the Love/Light Energy of Creation, or a Spark of the Divine. Again, we stress, nothing can exist without this life-giving Essence. This magnificent Spectrum of Light was sent forth from the Supreme Creator in a variety of diminished levels of Luminance to our Father/Mother God and then out into our Universe via the RAY-diance of the great Archangels. None of the manifested Universes could exist without it and neither could you.

You have often read/heard of someone who has had a near-death experience, and how they felt the sensation of being drawn toward the Light. Most often, the experience is the same with only a few variations. Usually gravely ill or in a traumatic situation, the person is drawn into the Light, and they are infused with a sense of bliss and incredible, overwhelming love.

Quite often, they will see a well-known Being of Light or, sometimes, a loved one who has passed on. They usually have a feeling that they can only go so far toward the Light, and they are then drawn back into their physical body once more. At times, the Light Being speaks with them, but not always. Sometimes, they are given a choice to return to their physical existence or to continue toward the Light, and other times, they are told they must return, for their mission is not complete.

Just as we explained that the Veil is not out there, but within your ownbrain structure, it is the same with the near-death experience. It all takes place within your own Higher-Dimensional Sacred Mind, orchestrated by your Higher Self. A near-death experience is usually a crossroad in life, a decision time and an opportunity to step onto the path of illumination.

And, quite often, but not always, a Soul-Merge occurs whereby a Higher Frequency part of your Soul-Self, which resides in your Soul Star Chakra (approximately six to eight inches above your head), moves into your Sacred Heart center, and begins the process of becoming the director of your life’s experiences instead of the ego-desire personality.

During the near-death experience, there is a chemical reaction that takes place, which facilitates the admittance to a portion of the brain called the Sacred Mind. This allows access to specific areas which contain some of the Light Packets of Wisdom stored therein. These Light Packets are composed of higher frequencies of Light, and they contain information that the person cannot ordinarily access. This not only feels and looks different to the person’s conscious mind, but often gives them access to a portion of their history, and sometimes to their lineage and other important information.

Remember this, everything you have ever experienced and all that you are, from the first time you came into your individualized consciousness as a Spark of the Divine, and became conscious of the fact that “I AM That, I AM – I AM a Facet of the Creator,” is stored within the Light Packets of Wisdom stored in the Higher-Dimensional levels of the brain. Stored within your Sacred Mind, your DNA and your Chakra system are all the virtues, attributes, qualities and aspects of the Supreme Creator. They are waiting for you to claim thekeys to the Kingdom by integrating the higher frequencies of Light, which will give you access to all the magnificence of your Divine Heritage.

You have an Etheric Body which contains a complete, authentic replica of your physical, mental and emotional bodies. When you die or completely leave your body, the Silver Cord (as it is called), is severed and you totally vacate the physical vessel, which immediately begins to disintegrate. Your Soul has slowly been merging with your Etheric Body, and you then move outward into the realms of the Higher Dimensions.

Many of you have a false conception of what it is like in the Higher Dimensions. The higher realms are not a nebulous, unsubstantial environment, and they will seem no different to you than your Earthly physical surroundings. However, as you will observe over time, there are many differences.

When you pass over, you will have form and substance. Yes, your form will be more refined and not as solid as it is in the Third- / Fourth-Dimensional environment, but you will feel solid and everything around you will have form and order as well. The level you are attuned to or compatible with will determine how consciously aware you are, and the abilities you will have, as well as how your surrounding environment will look.

Again, the frequencies you project or resonate to will determine which Dimension or Sub-Plane Dimensional level you will go to, and also what level of cosmic information you will be able to access. Your Auric Field is like a cloak that surrounds your Etheric or Astral bodies, and it is either a cloak of Light or a shroud of negative, inharmonious energy you have accumulated over your many past lifetime experiences.

We have explained this in the past, however, it is important that you have a clear understanding of the transition process, and so we will again give you a brief recap of what occurs after a Soul leaves the physical body.

Those who are “en-Lighten-ed” and Self-aware are immediately taken before their Guardian Council to review their past life, not a judgment, just a review to see what challenges and opportunities were met in a positive manner, with love and compassion, and which tasks were not completed, and therefore, will have to be experienced again.

You cannot hide anything from anyone in the higher realms, for your Aura tells your complete story, and everyone can see the radiance and Lightness of your Spirit-Self, or the lack thereof. Your form will be beautiful and perfect, and you may appear to be any age or in any form you desire.

You have many choices to make after you complete the review process. You can go to the universities of learning in various star systems, you can serve in a multitude of capacities, you can enjoy the beauty of Creation and practice your co-creation skills, or any variety of other experiences too vast to outline here.

Soul advancement is not as rapid in the higher realms as it is in the physical body, for you are aware of the Universal Laws, and there are immediate results from your thoughts and actions. That is why everyone is so anxious to incarnate on the Earthly plane, even though it is fraught with challenges, limitation, and often pain and suffering.

Even though it may be difficult to believe, it is a wonderful opportunity and a great privilege to be embodied on planet Earth at this time of great transformation. There are many beautiful Soulsstanding in the wings hoping to have an opportunity to return to Earth and be a part of this wondrous evolutionary process.

Along with your willingness to come to Earth and to share your Light in order to assist humanity and your planet, you were given an opportunity to embody as much of your Divine Self as you could contain and use; that is the Golden Promise that was made to you before you returned to Earth for this life’s experience. It was/is an unprecedented opportunity to integrate the maximum amount of your God Consciousness, and to return to your true estate as a Being of Light.

It is a different story for those who die a violent death – those who have lived a life of hate, fear and aggression toward others or have a great accumulation of negative karmic debt to overcome. Those Souls are taken to what could be termed an “intensive care unit” where they are lovingly cared for by a host of Angels of Mercy.

These Souls are encased in a prison of their own making (their distorted Auric/Astral Field), and they will live in a dream state that consists of their beliefs, negative actions, and unrealistic concepts. It is the closest thing to what could be termed “hell” or “purgatory,” for they are living in a world of lower frequency thought forms they have created on Earth during their many lifetime experiences.

The Angels of Mercy constantly radiate the Love/Light of the Creator to them, and slowly, over time, and depending how dense the negative field is, the elixir of love gradually penetrates and dissolves the shell around the etheric boy and the soul. There is always an opportunity to make restitution even though it may take eons to do so, depending on the severity and the magnitude of negativity involved.

Allow us to clear up another fallacy: it is not “sinful” to commit suicide or for a person to abdicate his/her life before his/her mission is complete.There are many reasons people decide to terminate their life or sacrifice their life for another. At times it is initiated by an overwhelming burden of shame, guilt or fear, sometimes for misplaced altruistic reasons (usually resulting from a martyr complex), or when a person has a terminal illness and the pain has become overbearing. These Souls will be shown how to rectify the situations which caused their suffering, pain or illness, and will be given another opportunity to get it right.

If a person decides to end his/her life because of the painful situations they have created for themselves, they will not be able to avoid those same circumstances in a future lifetime, and so it just postpones the challenges and opportunities to learn their life lessons. Remember, you are always your own judge, and you decide with the assistance of your Guardian Council what your next life’s experience will be, with many choices and opportunities available. When in the environment of the Higher Dimensions, a Soul is always eager to rectify past mistakes so the auric field may be cleared of any inharmonious vibrational patterns, and the journey toward en-Lighten-ment may continue.

It is also important for you to understand that the rules have changed as the process of evolution spirals to the next level. Each generation of Souls for the past hundred years or so has incarnated with more of their cosmic memory available to them. In other words, the veil of forgetfulness is thinning and is slowly being eliminated altogether.

The membranes of Light around the multiple strands of DNA are also becoming thinner, and the young ones now being born will have access to abilities and talents that were not available to their parents and grandparents. Call them what you wish: Indigo Children, Crystal Children, or the Golden Ones, they are wise OLD SOULS who agreed to incarnate on Earth to take the reins from you; their elders, and lead humanity into the Light of the New Age.

It matters not if people deny the truth in what we are conveying to you; it is the Living truth and the Universal Law nevertheless, and every Soul is affected and ruled by the tenets of the Divine Plane, whether they believe it or not. Here again, the inner veil applies, and you must break through the limitations of the negative Third-/Fourth-Dimensional environment to gain access to this wondrous connection to SOURCE. You always have been, and always will be connected, to the ALL THAT IS. The sense of disconnection is all within your mind, and the way to unlock the door to the River of Life is within theSACRED HEART.

My beloved bearers of Light, we ask you to view each test and challenge as an opportunity to release outmoded thoughts and vibrational patterns which no longer serve your greatest good. We implore you to view your life experiences through the filters of your Sacred Heart/Mind as you draw forth Creator Particles of Life/Light and infuse them with your love before radiating them out into the world and humanity. We are all in this cosmic dance of the evolution, and together, we shall prevail.

I AM Archangel Michael.

Doctors Murdered to Halt Medical Advances

GcMAF-petri

Credit: healthfreedoms.org

Numerous alternative-medicine specialists associated with breakthroughs in cures and technology have been murdered recently, to keep things like cancer cures becoming developed, used or known.

INVESTIGATION: Three Days Before Dr. Bradstreet Was Found Dead in a River, U.S. Govt. Agents Raided His Research Facility to seize a Breakthrough Cancer Treatment Called GcMAF

HealthFreedoms.org, Aug. 1, 2015

http://www.healthfreedoms.org/investigation-three-days-before-dr-bradstreet-was-found-dead-in-a-river-u-s-govt-agents-raided-his-research-facility-to-seize-a-breakthrough-cancer-treatment-called-gcmaf/.

For Those Who Demand Health Freedom… Spread The News!

The history of the suppression of medical science in America is a long one, filled with true accounts of pioneering doctors and clinicians being threatened, intimidated and even assassinated in order to bury emerging cures and keep the “sick care” industry in control. (The American Medical Association, for example, has been found guilty by the U.S. federal courts of a conspiracy to destroy the chiropractic industry, by the way.)

Over the last few days, we’ve learned that before being found shot in the chest and floating in the river, pioneering medical researcher Dr. Bradstreet was working with a little-known molecule that occurs naturally in the human body. Called, “GcMAF”, this molecule has the potential to be a universal cancer cure for many people. It has also been shown to reverse signs of autism in the vast majority of patients receiving the treatment.

While GcMAF is perfectly legal as a treatment in dozens of advanced nations around the world, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has outlawed it, calling it an “unapproved drug.” It is with this designation — an effort to suppress the forward progress of medical science — that the U.S. government conducted a raid on Dr. Bradstreet’s clinic, specifically seeking to confiscate GcMAF in order to shut down his research and halt his treatment of patients. Meanwhile, Big Pharma gets special permission to unleash untested, experimental drugs on the public as long as those drugs earn sufficient profits.

In this article, I summarize the videos, articles and documents covering GcMAF and the mysterious death of Dr. Bradstreet. An exhaustive investigation needs to be pursued on this matter, possibly involving private investigators. The timing and manner of Dr. Bradstreet’s death seems highly suspicious, especially in light of the many other holistic doctors who have recently been found dead under mysterious circumstances. (Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez died just days ago…)

Is there a motive to murder medical researchers and suppress a promising cancer treatment breakthrough?

Is there a motive for the murder of pioneering cancer researchers working on a possible universal cancer cure? Of course there is… it’s the most common motive in the world: MONEY.

A universal cancer cure would destroy the profitability of the highly lucrative cancer industry and collapse the American Cancer Society, hospitals, oncology clinics and pharmaceutical companies that depend on chemotherapy revenues to stay profitable. Key to their profitability is the inescapable fact that conventional cancer treatments simply don’t work most of the time, creating a reliable profit stream of repeat business from patients who are never cured (by design).

Would the cancer industry murder doctors to protect its profits? Of course it would. The industry kills patients as a routine part of its business operations! For example, an oncologist named Farid Fata was recently sentenced to 56 years in prison for falsely diagnosing patients with cancer so that he could sell them chemotherapy treatments they didn’t need. See the article Cancer doctors ‘fess up to making false diagnoses just to make more money.

INVESTIGATION: Here’s what we know so far.

Yet another doctor was just found murdered inside his home here on the East Coast of Florida. This makes six doctors to be found dead in the last month just from this region of the country alone. Four out of the six were found dead here in Florida. We lost the holistic Dr. Teresa Sievers, MD, who was found murdered in her Florida home just weeks ago. We’ve also lost the alternative Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, MD, who was found in a river with a gunshot to his chest. He’d recently moved to Georgia from Florida. We’ve also lost the Osteopath. Dr. Riley, who was found in Georgia at her home; just a few hours from the Florida border. She was found with a gunshot wound to her head.

Now we’ve lost Dr. Schwartz MD, who was found murdered in his home, on Sunday, July 19th, 2015. This was four weeks to the day after the death of the first physician: (Dr. Bradstreet MD) who I broke the story on a month ago. His family is still seeking answers as to what happened to him and they’re some of the kindest people I know. The latest MD, Dr. Schwartz, in the picture above, lived just north of the fit, healthy, holistic Dr. Hedendal; who was the second doctor to be found dead this past Father’s Day, in Boca Raton. This was the same day that Dr. Holt died at the age of 33. Both were fathers; and again, both men died here in Florida on June 21st, 2015.

[An extensive discussion of GcMAF continues athttp://www.healthfreedoms.org/investigation-three-days-before-dr-bradstreet-was-found-dead-in-a-river-u-s-govt-agents-raided-his-research-facility-to-seize-a-breakthrough-cancer-treatment-called-gcmaf/.]

The Running Brook of Enlightenment

Galactic Free Press's picture


God said:

Enlightenment isn’t a race you run. You’re not trying to be first. You don’t win prizes for coming in first. You come in when you’re ripe to come in. Speed is not of the essence.

Look at the bigger picture.

If you are building a table, the first nail hammered in isn’t better than the last nail. Each nail serves its purpose.

And for those of you who are set on Enlightenment, you are not to miss the present moment. The present moment also serves.

When there are, let’s say, seven flights of stairs, you climb each step. You can run up the stairs, and you can go fast, yet it is not necessary that you run up the stairs. You don’t necessarily reach the top by going faster, nor does anyone cheer you for running up the stairs.

What is the story about the Tortoise and the Hare?

In any case, dear children, when you are ripe to become enlightened, nothing will stop you. Enlightenment is assured. You don’t have all the say. Enlightenment means a lot to you, yet Enlightenment is simply part of life. It will come in due time.

Enlightenment is like moving into a new house. You were you in the old house. You are still you in the new house. After a while, you settle down.

Enlightenment is a great thing, yet it is not the be-all and end-all. Enlightenment is not the end of the line. Meanwhile, you live life. And after Enlightenment, you also live life. Either way, you are living life in the relative world. Enlightenment is not life in a fairy tale. You don’t want to get out of breath from your passage through the Running Brook of Enlightenment. There still is an Ocean to get under your belt.

Most assuredly, We cannot compare Enlightenment to a new car, yet We can. You are so certain that everything will be so wonderful when you can buy a new car, yet, after a while, the new car isn’t quite as new as it once was. It becomes old hat.

So, I ask again, what is your rush? What is it that you can’t wait for? What is it that you can’t keep an easy pace for?

The truth is not: Enlightenment or bust. The truth is not: Now or never. The truth is not ambition. Enlightenment is not a career change. With or without Enlightenment, you live life. Enlightenment is not a special miracle. It is simply what is next. Of course, all of this dream of life is a miracle, one after the other. All life is a miracle. Enlightenment is only one of them.

With or without Enlightenment, you are worthy. It is natural that you want more and more, and you shall have it. You don’t have to go after it at break-neck speed.

Consider Enlightenment a visitor who is coming to see you. The visitor is walking across a continent or across galaxies in many Universes. This visitor will reach you, yet no one knows the exact date of arrival. Each day, however, is a day closer. Fine, be eager. Look forward to the visitor named Enlightenment. Yet your life doesn’t depend upon his arrival.

One way or the other, you are making progress. Uphill or downhill, you are on your way. There is no other way to go. There is no other direction for you to take.

Life on Earth is not about excelling. There is more to life than performance appraisals.

You do not know by appearances who is Enlightened and who is not. You do not know what Enlightenment is really like until you are there, nor can you know how near you are or far away based on your assessments.

You have heard of Enlightened Ones who surprised themselves and those around them. There have been tales of reprobates who were suddenly Enlightened. Ready or not, Enlightenment can happen to you or anyone. I am your Saving Grace. Enlightenment by itself is fine, yet it is not the whole story. I AM the Whole Story.

HARVARD STUDY SHOWS MEDITATION ACTUALLY BUILDS BRAIN CELLS


A team led by Harvard-affiliated researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital demonstrated that meditation builds brain cells and increases gray matter in the brain. The researchers used magnetic imaging (MRI), and found that meditation produced physiological changes in the brain’s gray matter.

They noticed thickening in some areas of the participants’ brains after only eight weeks of meditation. This research was published in 2011 and it was the first documented proof that meditation can cause physical changes to the brain.

solomeditationThis research was funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine of the NIH. The participants in the research spent eight weeks doing a mindfulness meditation program. During the trial, the participants listened to audio recordings of guided meditation for an average of 27 minutes a day.

The group had weekly meetings. The participants had magnetic resonance imaging scans (MRI) of their brains taken two weeks before the beginning of the trial, and then again at the end of the eight-week program. There was also a control group that also had brain imaging (MRI), but did not listen to the audio-recorded meditation guides.

The research findings

science-meditationAfter eight weeks, the participants reported feeling less stressed. The MRI scans showed decreased gray matter in the amygdala and increased gray matter in the hippocampus.

The amygdala is the part of the brain that helps the body deal with anxiety and stress, and it also controls the “fight or flight” mechanism.

The hippocampus, which showed increase in gray-matter density, is the brain’s area that controls learning, memory, self-awareness, introspection and compassion.

Conclusion and implications

Science-Meditation-Mind-Molecular-Zen-BrainThe study concluded that meditation can build brain cells. The shrinking of the amygdala indicated a decreased stress response of the body, due to the feeling of relaxation and the reduced stress that were reported by the participants in the study.

The shrinking of the amygdala allows the pre-frontal cortex around it to thicken. And this pre-frontal cortex is the part of the brain that makes decisions and is in charge of concentration and awareness.

It has been concluded that meditation can indeed build brain cells, increase gray matter and allow the brain to have a slower response to stress, while at the same time providing better learning, concentration and memory.
