By Nikkola Daniel

More and more people are turning towards spirituality to achieve a sense of purpose and a healthier lifestyle. Meditation and mindfulness are key buzz words that seem to be on everybody’s lips at the moment. From mindful walking to mindful fitness training and everything in between.

There is some shocking news to suggest that meditation can actually cause damage to the brain. But hold on, wait!  Before you hastily use that as an excuse to swap your daily meditation practice for a daily dose of Netflix specials, check out this link of Mingyur Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist Lama explaining to a group of children the results of scientific evidence that proves the very positive and healthy benefits of how meditation can cause the brain to change for the better.

Meditation is for everyone, so dust off that cushion and get started..today!
