top 3 things you can
do to ensure you have the physical, mental, & emotional energy to be healthy and effective.Slide6

Participating in an 8-week mindfulness meditation program appears to make measurable changes in brain regions
associated with memory, sense of self, empathy and stress.
"It is fascinating to see the brain's plasticity and that, by practicing meditation, we can play an active role in changing the brain and can
increase our well-being
and
quality of life
." says Britta
Hölzel, PhD.

Getting in the FlowSlide17
“Repeated studies have demonstrated that meditation can rewire how the brain responds to stress
. Boston University researchers showed that after as little as three and a half hours of meditation training, subjects tend to react less to emotionally charged images
. “Other research suggests that meditation
improves working memory and executive function
. And several studies of long-term practitioners show an increased ability to
concentrate on fast-changing stimuli
