17、tion.“Peoples interest in meditation is outpacing what science can prove in terms of effects and benefits.”said Jeff Lin,MSU psychology doctoral candidate and study co-author.“But its amazing to me that we were able to see how one session of a guided meditation could produce changes to brain activit

18、y in non-meditators.”“Some forms of meditation have you focus on a single object,commonly your breath,but open monitoring meditation is a bit different,”Lin said,“It has you tune inward and pay attention to everything going on in your mind and body.The goal is to sit quietly and pay close attention
