Researchers at Mass General Hospital found that participants of an 8-week mindfulness meditation program to reduce stress showed positive changes in the parts of the brain associated with memory, stress, sense of self and more. The participants were asked to engage in yoga and sitting meditation for just 27 minutes per day on average. They were all novices to these practices.
27 minutes per day seems like a small investment of time when the results benefit the brain.
