It can potentially change anything inside of you that might need changing or transforming. The two areas of research that are really cutting-edge currently, are the molecular biological approach and neuroimaging. Neuroimaging has the ability of these large machines to peer right into the brain activity and look at very discreet areas of the brain. It can look at changes in brain activity and also changes in brain structure. What we are finding is that meditative practices can indeed change brain activity. When focusing on your attention you change brain activity in a very discrete way. Over time you actually change brain structure through what is called brain plasticity, and that means you end up with a brain tha
