"Landscape artist Jane Anderson struggled with seasonal affective disorder in the winter months. She tried meditation and noticed a change within a month.
"My experience was a sense of calmness, of better ability to regulate my emotions," she says.
Her experience inspired a new study which found changes in brain activity after only five weeks of meditation training, the journal Psychological Science reports.
The group was offered two half-hour sessions a week, and encouraged to practise as much as they could between sessions, but there wasn't any particular requirement for how much they should practice. "My experience was a sense of calmness, of better ability to regulate my emotions," she says.
Her experience inspired a new study which found changes in brain activity after only five weeks of meditation training, the journal Psychological Science reports.
People who had done the meditation showed a greater proportion of activity in the left frontal region of the brain, in response to subsequent attempts to meditate, as compared to the group which did not meditate."
