I remember a time when meditation was an alien phenomenon for people, something new, unusual and inaccessible. There were many people who wanted to try just to say that they practice meditation, but in fact, many of them didn't know why they do that and how to do it. It's easy to say "concentrate on your breath" and just breath, but it's not so easy to do so. The most common Beginner's Guide.
So let's see how meditation works and how it affects our brain.

Comments
No, the idea of just sitting doing nothing doesn't really appeal to me.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
I knew about some of them but the research about sharpening your mind as a result of meditation was astounding to me.
I've never tried meditation before. I don't feel the need for meditation. Besides, I don't know exactly how it works and how I should do it correctly. I just don't want to meditate yet.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
Unfortunately, I didn't know about the facts mentioned in the movies. As I said, I wasn't interested in meditation before. I'm glad I could read about it.
Yes i tried it, it sometimes is my ace when it comes to falling asleep, normally i'm sleeping five seconds after i close my eyes but when sometimes i have to go to sleep at 7pm because i have to drive during the night, then meditation is a way to do it.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
Yes I was aware of it, I watched several videos of that type in the past.
I have tried meditation just once and that was because of curiosity. That was difficult to literally don't think about anything for 15 minutes.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
No, I didn't. It was quite interesting for me as I didn't suspect that meditation could help in rebuilding connections between neurons. I rather thought that we need mental effort to keep our brains in good condition.
So yes, because of training your brain you sharpen your mind. Pretty impressive.
I've never tried it though I would love to. I've heard great things about it from my mates.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
Yes, most of them at least, never heard the specifics of how it affects our brain.
I knew some of the facts and not some. I know that meditation comes from East Asia, but it has also been present in India for a long time as part of their religion.
I've never tried meditating seriously because I didn't go into it. However, after visiting the place of Buddha's apparition this summer, where very many people are sitting and meditating, I started to be interested in it and I even consider starting meditation.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
No, I wasn't aware of most of the benefits of meditation, it's just an additional reason to try.
2. Yes, I have heard of many of them. Still, it didn't convince me to meditation.
1. Did you ever try meditation? Why?
No, I’ve never tried it, but I’m interested in learning something more about it. The idea of sitting/lying down idly always restrained me from trying it out, but on the other hand, I have nothing to lose, and it turns out it can be really beneficial to our health.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
Yes, I did. Especially when it comes to stress reduction, mood boost and intensively developed neural connections. I must admit that the idea of introducing meditation to everyday life was always quite tempting. My brain is a bit overresponsive so helping it calm down the thought process and focus only on necessities, especially during the nighttime would be a blessing.
But the video presents weighty arguments. And, combining work and study, I think I will come to this very soon.
I've never tried to meditate and I don't really want to give it a chance. It would be hard for me to fall into the habit of meditating everyday (say about 30 minutes) to fully utilize my free time. I believe that somehow meditation can really help clear mind and focus attention on important thoughts. However, I also think that just learning how to meditate correctly and the correct form of this activity would also take a long time. I don't know if the results would be measurable in any way and whether I would really notice any changes.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
I wasn't aware of all the facts presented in the film, but as soon as the topic of meditation appears somewhere, I always have a picture of clearing someones thoughts of unnecessary information, charging some kind of energy and regenerating mind. I'm convinced and particularly interested in research on removing unnecessary connections in the nerve circuits that store irrelevant information, and improving those connections that are very important to us and we use them most often.
2.To be honest, I knew about these things. As I mentioned earlier, I watched Rob Gryn vlogs. He is one of the most interesting Polish entrepreneurs and willingly talks about how he succeeded. Currently, I'm trying to encourage friends to meditate, in my opinion it helps to discover new energy and discover a new self.
2. I didn't know the facts that was mentioned in the movie, so i'm content to watch it. It's really intresting that there is do many benefits od meditation. The fact that erderly that meditate regularly have better sight than teenagers.
No I haven't. I think I don't need it for now. But when I am overworked and overworried it would be great to relax and take a rest for my mind. Also I think the same you may get the same level of rest If you go sports, especially in a form of games.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
I've heard about some benefits of meditation, but not the exact ones, so there is a bit of information I haven't known.
2. I'd heard about them. Moreover meditation reduces anxiety, so I guess that's why it helps in brain development.
2. I knew about some of them like possibility of reducing stress and enhancing memory.
I have tryed meditation. I wanted to see what will change when i will do it.
Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
Actually no. I did know that meditation can have some good affects on our health and mind but didnt know about the studies.
I've never really tried to meditate. But I think it's a very interesting topic and I'll try it one day. Apparently now there are a lot of applications that allow you to learn the basic techniques of meditation and also contain sounds that are supposed to facilitate meditation. In today's busy world I think it's worth finding a moment to calm your mind.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
I did not know that meditation could affect the physical connections in our brain, their reconstruction and strengthening. If this is true and further research will confirm it, it is even more worth to be interested in this subject.
Yes, I tried and found the effects of Meditation, which changed my life enormously.
I consider meditation as the most effective way to train your brain to concentrate and focus better. It strengthens your attention muscle and brings in positivity. Personally speaking, I have benefitted a lot and thus, I recommend everyone to go through this art of healing.
If there are loads of negative thoughts bothering you, practicing meditation will help you.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
Yes I knew it because I have a book "Search inside yourself" and most of those facts mentioned there. It's actually deep topic to talk and think because for each personality there's special way to meditate and feel total concentration.
2. Theoretically – no, but some of them I have felt by myself. How it makes you to here how you breath and every move around you instantly makes you gathered and ready.
1. No, I didn't. I have never been interested in the topic and never tried it myself. Though in the future perhaps...
2. More or less, yes. For years it's been known that the meditation may have a good impact on human's midn and body. I can even recal hearing that in some cases it could almost replace sleeping.
2. No I have never bee too interested in the topic of mediation.
2. The information provided is nothing new to me. As I said, I used to practice meditation.
2. As I said in my previous answer I know nothing about meditation, so all the information are entirely new for me. But I have to admit it’s really interesting how much meditation influence our brains and bodies. Now I think I’m gonna gain an insight into that and maybe I will even try meditation soon.
2. I've heard about most of them (probably from my friends who encouraged me to try meditation). I think it's interesting and worth considering to try it one day.
2. No, I was not aware about the facts mentioned in the video. This is something new for me, but it still sound fake to me.
But of course I would love to learn it, it can be an interesting experience. Unfortunately, I didn't know that, meditation is new to me. Also, the video did not help me at all
Yes, I practice meditation from time to time, unfortunately not on a regular basis. But I would very much like to change it, that is, to bring it into everyday life. I first tried this as an experiment. Why? Because I just read and heard about the benefits of meditation, and decided to try it. In general, I can say that this experiment ended successfully, and I discovered for myself a new facet of life. Just after the first time, of course, I did not feel something cosmic, but I liked the feeling of inner satisfaction.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
Yes, what I described in the answer to the first question is the answer to your second question. Indeed, it was so when I got acquainted with meditation it all started with a study of its benefits, and most of the facts I already knew. In the past 10 years, as was said in the video, every time new useful properties of this phenomenon are discovered. At the time when I first tried meditation was not popular. But recently, I notice an increase in the number of people who are interested in this. I am very pleased with this phenomenon.
2. About some, yes I did.
I did multiple times, but I stopped doing that lately. I must get back to that, because It really gave me a great feeling and it was even very fun to do. Struggling to think and feel as little as possible is hard, but then you realize how many thoughts and stimuluses you receive every second. Cutting this sources for a couple of minutes a day can definitely be benefitial for everyone when done on regular basis.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
Yes I did. Those are the reasons why I have even started meditating.
2. I know it is good for the body and mind. Meditation helps you relax and collect your thoughts. But the specific facts mentioned in the video, I didn't know.
I have a huge problems with anger control, so I try to meditate every morning, and I use a guided meditation to fall asleep.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
Yes, I have studied the question, when I was trying to deal with my anger. It is a healthy habit that is useful for everyone.
Never. I do sometimes starching, but as I see this is totally different area.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
I knew some of them, but I got caught in this presentation by the statement that it can increase my attention and ability to store and manipulate information in one time. This is cool. I'm going to try.
I tried, but I couldn't manage to sit down and do nothing for 20 minutes. Although I really like the idea I don't know how to do it yet.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
I have heard about the fact that meditation can reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Although I didn't know it can be so beneficial, especially with the hippocampus capacity, which is amazing how meditation can improve physical condition of our brains.
Yes, I meditate every morning. And I try to meditate when I have emotional problems or I'm nervous. Meditation helps me to calm down and "take a breath".
2) Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
No, I've never heard about the facts mentioned in this video. But, I was surprised and this information is really helpful for me because I like to meditate.
1. Yes, I tried meditation a long time ago. Mainly to try something new and to check if it's really so good. But I was disappointed. It's nothing special.
2. Yes, I knew those things. But I felt no changes with this meditation and don't believe in these "facts" now.
2. Yes, I did know about some of them from various sources, but the research about how you can sharpen your mind with meditation was a big surprise for me.
2. As I said before I thought it's normal relaxing. I'm a bit surprised about these facts. I'm going to check these on my own.
2)No, I was ignorant about most of the critical information that was in the video. It is very nice that the author posted the links to the research papers he was referring to. A courtesy, that is extremely rare on the internet.
2. I was aware of most of it for same reason as above. I like to be prepared when I start doing new things and since yoga and meditation are related, I researched topic of meditation while delving into yoga
I haven’t tried meditation yet, I think it’s because I get bored very very quickly, and its hard for me to “do nothing”.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
I have heard some things about It before, but knowing that an actual research is behind this claims was a surprise for me, I have always thought that it was some kind of new age mumbo jumbo.
2. I did not know about all the facts contained in the film. I always thought that meditation allows me to calm down and master my thoughts. I had no idea that it sharpens the senses and affects our concentration so much.
I tried it for 5 min but for me, it was very hard to relax and didn't stress out on everything. But I want to try one more time, maybe now it will be more productive and be more interesting.
2. Did you know about the facts mentioned in the video?
I knew some of them. Thank you for sharing this video, it was useful and I learned something new. Besides it, now I want to try one more time to meditate and research the topic.
I really would like to give it a shot, however probably i will need some mentor for this, to watch if i do it correctly.
2.
Yes, I've heard about them, also a lot of successful people been meditating (for example: Steve Jobs).
