The Science Behind Meditation
"Scientific study of meditation has exploded in the last two decades. Not only has there been study after study of the health and wellbeing benefits of meditation but there is now also a much deeper understanding of what actually happens physiologically, neurologically, metabolically, genetically, energetically, and quantum physically.
There is now ample scientific evidence that regular meditation significantly affects you through:
Physiology: Transforms our entire body chemistry cellularly and systemically
Neuroplasticity: Restructures and rewires the brain
Epigenetics: Activates positive genes and deactivates negative genes.
Science is now also able to confirm the reality of the more subtle experiences of your meditation:
Quantum neuroscience: Explains how meditation creates neurological connections to quantum reality
String theory: Provides the scientific foundation of a high-frequency, circumambient reality that interpenetrates our physical world and body
Entanglement: Reveals the bridge between Intelligent life force and the physical body
The Holographic Principle: Forms the paradigm that we are continuously creating our bodies, even small changes in consciousness instantly manifest physical changes"

The long-term benefits of meditation and living meditatively are too many to chronicle.
My personal favorite benefit is intuition.
The short-term benefits are stress reduction and joy.
