When we are in a situation of stress or danger, our brain responds instinctively in two ways: fight or flight. However, magnetic resonances of the brain show that two months of meditation practice are enough to cope with these difficult moments with greater maturity and tranquility. It is also proven that meditating influences the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain that is linked to our ability to make decisions and social behavior. All these studies suggest that meditation helps our mind disconnect from its own stress center.
