There's always someone closest to us who doesn't come into contact with him, and he's always in our smallest social or family circle. It triggers our emotions, our reactions to our processes.
If our relationship with our own body is weak, we begin to experience lows in our lives, which may deepen further and leave permanent marks there. Yes, wounds can heal, just like trees with grounded roots. They are strong and self-healing. They feed on the soil with their roots and grow stronger. Grounding also ensures that the tree has flexibility and self-healing ability; Thus, the tree can adapt itself to the winds of change without being uprooted or uprooted.
I want to give a brief overview of a different topic. Although there is a wide variety of applications, there is only one main topic that covers them all and they all meet under this title; It's about training the mind to stay in this moment, that is, to stay in the moment by bringing attention to breath, mantra or thoughts that come and go… The aim is to change the relationship with our thoughts, so that we can create more space and silence in our mind without being consumed by them. Thanks to this space, we can make room for new ones, and we can hear what we really want and our needs thanks to silence. Voices and our stories about past-future that increase voices and compress our space. Stories of our mind can drag our lives from here to there. Over time, the more we meditate, the less we start to pursue thoughts.
"Meditation changes the way we think" says neuroscientist Sara Lazar from Harvard Medical School. Over time, we begin to understand more clearly how our minds work and make choices that can further support our lives. Lazar's study, published in 2005 and one of his first studies, found that more gray matter - nerve cells - formed in the brains of those who meditated for 40 minutes a day for 3 to 28 years, especially in parts of the brain where we have features such as planning, concentration, cause-effect and adaptation. realizes that growth is happening. This difference is also noticeable when compared to other people of the same age who do not meditate. In their research, it turns out that a 50-year-old person who meditates has more gray areas than the brain of a 25-year-old.
Gray matter in the brain contains the vast majority of the brain's neuronal cell bodies. Gray matter is found in the hippocampus and is involved in sensory perception such as sight and hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control. Higher gray matter presence has been associated with increased learning abilities and improved memory, along with an increased sense of personal ability. As gray matter increases in the brain, IQ begins to rise. In another study in 2011, he noticed that people who meditated regularly for 8 weeks had a thickening in certain areas of the brain. Improvement is noticed in the learning and memory, and empathy and compassion parts of the brain. At the same time, there is a shrinkage in the amygdala, which gives the fight-and-flight response. This makes us less stressed. It is observed that one of the most important effects of meditation is that the decline in cognitive ability due to aging in the brain stops and even increases in elderly individuals.
"How that happens?" As for the question. The important thing here is that when we meet with ourselves, our contact and awareness is upon us. Of course, we will not always meet ourselves, this is like a game. Dating and dissociation game. Whatever emotion, event and process we come into contact with, separating from that emotion, situation, meeting with ourselves, with the breath we take, remembering the sentence "I am here now, I am alive and I am too". When we fully feel the mass of the body, the severity of the problems, traumas and events in our life will change a lot for us.
But there are some instance wherein the person knows that he barely existed, I mean his physical body was here but he don't feel being alive at all and perhaps it was like "You never lived at all."
