If you doubt the benefits of meditation, here’s your proof:
Harvard University researchers conducted a 2011 study that finally proved that the structural changes in the brain that were believed to be the result of meditation were in fact the result of meditation and not merely random occurrences.

Significant increases in gray matter in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex are associated with improved concentration and productivity, increased creativity and social/emotional integration, and greater self-awareness. Decreases in the amygdala correlated to decreases in anxiety and stress response.
