It's the RUMP Rewind! Where we delve into the back catalogue and whip out an old fave that we think needs a re-airing today. Kate's chosen to re-explore the vast benefits of meditation on our brain and lives.
Sara Lazar joined us on Ep.43 to talk about what's actually happening in our brains when we meditate. We're all told it's good for us, but we want to find out why.
Sara is an Assistant Professor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School and an Associate Researcher in Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. Her research focuses on the neuroscience underlying yoga and meditation.
Her work has been covered by the likes of The New York Times and in TED talks, and you can find out more about her here:
- How Meditation Can Reshape Our Brains: Sara Lazar at TEDxCambridge
- The Neuroscience of Yoga and Meditation - Dr Sara Lazar, PhD
Sara sets us one our loveliest challenges so far: to meditate while sending love out to others. Gwen & Kate try it out and you can join in too.
