What goes on in the brain when we meditate? Are we biologically programmed to need religious and mystical experiences? Can the benefits of meditation be measured? In The Blissful Brain Dr Shanida Nataraja provides a fresh perspective on this timeless practice. While exploring the extraordinary research that shows practices such as meditation, tai chi and yoga are not only helpful in reducing stress, we discover that they may actually be crucial for good health and optimal brain functioning. From the effects of meditation on blood pressure and depression to the latest insights from brain imaging studies, The Blissful Brain reveals the evidence that proves meditative practices should be at the very heart of our healthcare system.
