How Does Meditation Work?
In this lesson, you’ll discover how meditation reshapes the brain and supports overall well-being. Meditation increases gray matter in areas responsible for memory, learning, and emotional regulation, boosting cognitive skills and resilience. It strengthens areas tied to present-moment awareness and empathy, while reducing stress responses in the amygdala. Meditation also enhances physical health by improving sleep, reducing inflammation, and supporting immunity, offering a balanced approach to mental and physical wellness.

How to Make Meditation a Habit
To make meditation a habit, start with small, manageable sessions (like 5–10 minutes) and aim to meditate at the same time each day to build routine. Create a dedicated, comfortable space, and track your progress to stay motivated. Celebrate each session without judgment, recognizing that consistency is more important than perfection.

Is Meditation Safe?
Meditation is generally considered safe for most people and can provide numerous mental and physical health benefits. However, it's important to approach it mindfully.
Anytime you’re meditating, with or without a guide, try to balance two types of attention. Place part of your attention on your intention, such as watching the breath. Use another part of your attention to tend to your meditation experience. If you notice resistance, reactivity, discomfort, or unease, address it in the most compassionate, caring way you can.
Sometimes, this means staying with the experience and continuing to observe with a loving, caring kindness. Other times, this means gently navigating away from the discomfort or even taking a break from the practice entirely. You always have agency over your own practice.
Meditation can help support mental and physical health, but it may not be a sufficient, stand-alone solution. If you’re using meditation as treatment for any physical, mental or emotional challenge, discuss your practice with a trauma-informed specialist, a trained medical professional or trusted counselor.
