27 minutes of mindfulness meditation a day changes brain structure - Your Brain Health

“Although the practice of meditation is associated with a sense of peacefulness and physical relaxation, practitioners have long claimed that meditation also provides cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout the day”

My dad sent this to me.  I came from him.  I think we all came from dust particles, trapped in clay and embraced by light.  Maybe :)

Registered Green since 18

When I moved to Phoenix, and became a driver, I was conveniently registered to vote while receiving my license.   I remember hesitating before listing my affiliation.  Should I choose blue so we can make purple? I wondered.  I remained loyal to my party membership, recognizing ballot access and voter participation are genuine obstacles for GPUS, so registering Green in AZ is more important than making purple.

Younger yogis = wiser lives

Been read articles and watching videos of children ages six to nine, and as young as two,  doing yoga at studios and at school - I read about whole middle schools meditating. Wonderful!
