Do your emotions ever feel out of control?

Do fear and worry takeover your mind?

In one Harvard research study, they found differences in brain volume after eight weeks of meditation, and they found positive thickening of the brain in the following four regions:

1. The primary difference, we found in the posterior cingulate, which is involved in mind wandering, and self relevance.
2. The left hippocampus, which assists in learning, cognition, memory and emotional regulation.
3. The temporo parietal junction, or TPJ, which is associated with perspective taking, empathy and compassion.
4. An area of the brain stem called the Pons, where a lot of regulatory neurotransmitters are produced.

The amygdala, the fight or flight part of the brain which is important for anxiety, fear and stress in general. That area got smaller in the group that went through the mindfulness-based stress reduction program.

The change in the amygdala was also correlated to a reduction in stress levels.

This is what the means when the Bible says “As a man thinks, so he is.” Changing your thoughts changes your emotions, and that shrinks your amygdala which is your fear center. This helps you become more grounded, stable, loving, and improves overall well being

Do you suffer from any physical problems?

Do you fight chronic fatigue, stress and anxiety daily?

As you embark on the journey of Christian Meditation, you can start to see changes in as little as 4 weeks. As your brain begins to heal itself, the side effects caused by the trauma of toxic thinking that have effected your physical body will also begin to self correct as well. You will then find yourself radiating positive emotions from your heart into the world around you. As you begin to heal, your capacity to heal others increases. As you begin to love yourself, you become much more capable of loving those around you.

Meditation takes your focus off of your problem and puts it onto the solution. It teaches you to stop the inner negative swirl by setting your mind on things above. And as you see life from heaven’s perspective, you will experience peace that passes understanding, bringing emotional stability and wholeness.
