Meditation increases brain gray matter

Angel in Disguise · 05-15-2009, 08:10 AM

How does one achieve this state without meditating???... I ask this question because I have achieved what they state...

"these might be the neuronal underpinnings that give meditators' the outstanding ability to regulate their emotions and allow for well-adjusted responses to whatever life throws their way."

Without being a meditator ever I have always regulated my emotions better than the average and have well adjusted responses to whatever life throws my way... (And trust me when I say I have been there done that!) Moreso than the average anyhow... perhaps not amongst all the fine folks I find here

I have tried to meditate but I just can't... My mind is going a mile a minute always... I have always questioned everything and always wondered where all the love was... Never understood hate, greed or judgement.
I just don't get the world today... never have! I see the perfection that could be but am often frustrated and irritated by what I see as reality... It's not pretty, it's not what I imagine, but it's there... I want to enjoy it but I can't because it's obvious...

I've known my whole life that I was here to witness something HUGE... Bigger than 911... I know in my heart good will come of it

... No meditation needed, although I wish I could at times... Seems so peaceful and happy

I have to agree with you. For the past few months, I have been moving in a direction that I never planned to move in. It was as if all of a sudden, I could regulate and control my thoughts and feelings like I never could before.

Good question and I was actually going to ask it myself.

For myself... I've always expected this... I've always known I was here to witness a great destruction that would end in a great rehabilation so to speak... Back to basics and enjoying it in a sense... I feel that that is where it's at... Anyone else agree or have the same going on?... How have I always known this? No one ever taught it to me... Why do I know this? And how do you know this?

Yeah I do, though I sometimes wonder if I should get rid of Facebook.

You can send me an instant message on here though.

I just started meditating a week ago or so. For me ...it really has help me dramatically ! Keeping a calm , relaxed, peaceful, state of mind. I cant describe how I feel afterward, other than completely at peace. It makes my day go sooo much better. Which in turn, has changed my life !

Hello all. I will share something very personal with you. About 7 years ago approx, i was down and out, suicidal. I had nowhere to go, seemed no one cared or was listening. I spoke to a long lost friend, and then saw an ad in the paper for " Meditation for stress relief". I thought what the heck, i have nothing to lose, right?
I went to this classes and of about 75 people, only seven of them were men, funny that. Did you know that men do not suffer from stress, or so it would seem.
After attending these classes for several weeks, i had an out of body experience at home. This was my turning point. Since then , i knew there was more to the body than flesh and blood. I also noticed that the voices in my head, the noise, the chatter, was gone.
This too was a turning point for me.

What i mean to say about this is , yes, meditation is very good for you, and if you practise it on a daily basis, you will notice a big change in your life.
Great thread giovonni,
