The brain is an organ that made up of cells and tissue. It is a fantastically powerful machine that resides between the ears. In fact, it is just about the most sophisticated adaptable, and powerful machine ever developed. Not only does it control the body, interpret the senses, store the memories, and allow indivdual to communicate through language, it can also learn new things and use what it already knows to create totally new ideas. The tricky thing about this machine is that it is always on and, if not attended to carefully, can easily run amok. Even while you sleep, your brain remains busy.
Researches by Neuroscienctisits find that human's brain is elastic, which can stretch and shape it. Learning something new causes the brain to grow more connections among the neurons. With more connections, the neurons can send and receive more messages. These connections help to stretch a part of the brain and make it more elastic, so that it can hold more information and ideas. The number of scientific studies investigating mindfulness has increased exponentially over the past few decades, to explore the relationship between mindfulness and mood/mental health. Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to how to use and direct the brain. Practice of making intentional choices about what to do with the brain, and taking responsibility for the power it has. Evidence has also shown that the brain is affected both structurally as well as functionally, meaning that mindfulness can actually stimulate further growth in existing brain cells in specific areas as well as enhance their existing functionality.
