Thank goodness we now have clear evidence from current neuroscience that we are all capable of ongoing development regardless of age. If we properly nourish and stimulate it, our brain continues to positively change over our entire life. For example, daily mindfulness meditation practice has been proven to develop the pre-frontal cortex of the brain and as a result greater happiness, joy and equanimity is realized. It has also been clearly demonstrated that proper nutrition and exercise profoundly effect all systems of our body and thus our mind. Another important consideration, found to greatly improve one’s physical and emotional well-being, is the elimination of internal and external toxic influences.
