Comments on study at U.C.L.A


A Enhanced Brain development in meditators - Effect of reaching of more vital Radiations .
In a study conducted at the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (university of California Los Angeles) by an experts team led by Dr Eileen Luders have proved that greater gyrification (folding of the cerebral cortex) was present in the brains of meditators. (ref: Frontiers of Human Neuro Science –February 2012). Previous studies have found that the brains of long-term meditators had increased amounts of gray and white  matter (former- believed to be involved in processing informations, the latter thought of as the ‘wiring‘ of brain’s communication system.
            Dr. Eileen Luders says “you could argue that more folds (in the brain) means more neurons. These are the processing units of brain and having it more might mean that you have greater cognitive capacity”.
            Dr. Luders and her team used M.R.I scans to measure the features of brains of their subjects and of the control group of non meditators for comparison. Now it is proved that material change is possible in brain through long term meditation. But still many logical persons are very skeptical about these results. They think that meditating is to just sit there with eyes closed. They deserve satisfactory and logical explanations.
Sitting in the right posture of meditation for 10-20 minutes mornings and / or evenings helps your brains to receive more infrared radiations from rising / setting sun absorbed through filum terminale and spinal cord. These vital radiations in enhanced quantity facilitate creation of more neurons (in various parts of brain) utilizing the already available nutrients proteins, vitamins, starch etc.
