The IMAGINE study paper, titled “Neural and Molecular Changes During a Mind-Body Reconceptualization, Meditation, and Open Label Placebo Healing Intervention”, has just been published in Communications Biology – an open access journal from Nature!
This groundbreaking research shows measurable changes in the brain, body, and biochemistry following a 7-day meditation retreat. Among the key findings:
Increased brain connectivity, revealing a more integrated and efficient brain.
Signs of enhanced neuroplasticity, as blood plasma collected after the retreat promoted nerve cell growth in the lab.
A shift in energy metabolism, demonstrating how the body adapts to new states of being.
Elevated levels of the bodyís natural pain relievers, ꞵ-endorphin and dynorphin.
A dynamically balanced immune response, signaling repair, resilience, and renewal.
