Neuroplasticity
In “Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain, author Sharon Begley describes the power and process of neuroplasticity - the brain’s ability to change its structure and functioning as the result of experience.
The Dalai Lama has been inquiring for years into the mind’s ability to impact the brain, something older sciences eschewed as impossible. Now the neurosciences have demonstrated how the quality of our thoughts and attention have a direct impact on the way the brain is structured and functions. Imagine a world where the software coding has a direct impact on the shaping of the hardware!
Good news indeed for those of us who daily practice things like meditation and appreciative perspectives.
