The undeniable benefits of meditation have long been endorsed by science. Now, these benefits are reiterated in a new book by neuroscientist Nazareth Castellanos. Castellanos, who holds a degree in Theoretical Physics and a PhD in Medicine from the Autonomous University of Madrid, brings a unique perspective to the subject.
In her latest work, titled The Mirror of the Brain – Neuroscience and Meditation, Nazareth delves into the workings of our brain, highlighting some distinctive characteristics that many of us may find familiar.
Living in the moment
Consider our efforts to “live in the moment.” Often, our minds project us into a future elsewhere or a nostalgic past, thwarting any attempt to stay present. Or think about our struggles to change habits, only to fall back into the annoying (and convenient) routine.
Selective thought processes
Our brain’s ability to select one thought over another is another example. These experiences are common to all humans, except those who, through consistent meditation, learn to reorganize their neural pathways. Step by step, they even manage to change their self-perception.
Accessible change
This transformation is not transcendental. Anyone can achieve change by learning to dedicate time to meditation, rather than perpetually postponing it. Nazareth Castellanos, who has devoted years of research to the topic, asserts that the ancients, as often is the case, already knew this.
