This is a very simplified, easy to understand explanation of the theory of neuroplasticity. The basic idea is that our brains continue to change and grow as we do; and that through repeatedly focusing on a new thought or behaviour, we can change the neural pathways in our brains.

The way we can change from rumination and experiential avoidance and tap into new ways of thinking, feeling and acting. We are never ‘stuck’ and the potential for change is literally unlimited! The power to see possibilities and change intention is everything, and science now says it’s possible. http://www.bmindful.co.uk/contact/

Neuroplasticity is a subject very pertinent to meditation – particularly meditation as consistent practice. Because rest assured, for all the difficulties you might experience as you meditate, and no matter how hopeless you might feel sometimes, the very act of sitting and using the meditation methods to coax your mind toward stillness changes the brain just a little bit more – adapting it to become more able to be still, and intuitive and tranquil within the storm of life.
