Calm and Focused: How Meditation Changes Your Brain

Decades ago, Paramahansa Yogananda taught that the practice of meditation made positive changes in the brain as well as the mind.

Anyone who practices meditation is soon aware of the benefits of increased calm, peacefulness, and improved ability to focus. Tune in as Martin Wuttke, Neurofeedback practitioner and researcher, joins Yogacharya Ellen Grace O’Brian and find out more about how these beneficial changes can change our life for good.
