    Studies done by neuroscientists have shown that meditation is not only beneficial but that there are immediate benefits that can be shown just from practicing for a week. Many people try new forms of exercise but sometimes like a diet plan do not stick with it to see the long-term effects. Neuroscientist recently conducted a experiment with fifteen volunteers. The volunteers underwent Mindful meditation for 4 days. They engaged in a daily practice of 20 minutes of meditation. The pain that subjects felt due to a metal plate placed on their right calf was reduced by 57 percent and its intensity by 40 percent. This is of coarse a small study that was conducted and the metal plate placed on their calf was not hot enough to burn the subjects.
    When looking at the brain activity of monks they found that there was a dramatic increase in the high-frequency EEG electrical activity in the gamma band (25-42 oscillations per second). What all this means is that they have unique brain waves and more brain activity than the average person. A greater ability to focus their attention, withstand pain, relax the body and change the physical structure of their brain. Overall improved brain function. Meditation is not just important for martial artist as I have written about in a previous blog post but for everyone. While knowing of its benefits is great the only way to truly appreciate it is to actually try some meditation for yourselves.
