Meditate even when you’re Happy
In one of the first studies of its kind conducted at our lab, we discovered that as little as 30 minutes of compassion meditation per day for a two-week period altered circuits in the brain and resulted in participants acting more generously toward each other. We’re learning that infusing daily tasks with awareness and intentionally cultivating compassion can help us strengthen our brains in ways that reduce our everyday worries and make our lives richer.
