The Brain is Malleable
Your brain is shaped by what you repeatedly do. Meditation isn't just a habit— It's a rewiring tool.

What Meditation Does to Your Brain
- Shrinks the amygdala (fear center) - Thickens the prefrontal cortex (clarity, focus) - Activates the insula (empathy + self-awareness)

Stress Response Gets Rewired
Regular meditation lowers cortisol. Your nervous system shifts from survival mode to rest-and-restore mode.

It’s a Practice, Not Perfection
Your mind will wander. That’s part of the process. Each return to breath is a rebuild.

You Become an Observer, Not a Reactor
Over time, you stop being your thoughts and start witnessing them. This is where the inner calm begins.
