It’s often said that we can benefit from meditation. But what are the benefits?
In this video, neuroscientist and associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, Andrew Huberman, looks at the benefits of meditation.
Andrew Huberman informs us that we have no sensory neurons on our brain. This means that if we focus our attention on a point a couple of inches behind our forehead, we bring our attention to a spotlight where there is no sensation, and our thoughts, emotions and memories take on more prominence in our perception. This in turn helps us to become more self-aware and we get to see how disorganised, random and intrusive our thoughts truly are.
“Being mindful and aware can enhance one’s level of
presence and happiness”
- Andrew Huberman
