THE SCIENCE of MINDFULNES
Mindfulness Reduces Stress (2010)
A study conducted by Britta Holzel at Massachusetts General Hospital, and published in Social Cognitive and Affective
Neuroscience, finds that mindfulness-based stress reduction can lead to structural changes in the amygdala, a brain
structure that plays a crucial role in stress responses.

Mindfulness Can Lead to Better Decision Making (2011)
A study conducted at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute by Dr. Ulrich Kirk, published in Frontiers in
Neuroscience, finds that people who practice mindfulness use different parts of their brains in the decision-making process.
This is most visible in their ability to react more rationally, rather than emotionally, when faced with unfair situations.

Mindfulness Enhances Attention, Mood and Memory (2010)
A 2010 Wake Forest University study, published in Consciousness and Cognition, shows that only 4 days of mindfulness
training can enhance the ability to sustain focused attention. It also shows significant improvements in mood, visuo-spatial
processing, working memory and cognition.

that mindfulness is effective for relieving anxiety and improving mood.
