FAQ

Is there scientific proof meditation works?

Yes. Studies show benefits for anxiety, attention, mood, and even brain structure over time.

What happens in the brain during meditation?

There’s more activity in regions linked to focus and awareness, and less in the default mode network (rumination).

Can meditation lower blood pressure?

Yes — especially practices that engage the parasympathetic nervous system, like breath awareness.

How quickly do results appear?

Some changes (like calm) can appear within days. Deeper effects build over weeks or months of regular practice.

Is meditation as effective as medication?

It depends on the condition. Sometimes it’s complementary, sometimes it’s not enough on its own. Talk to a professional.
