More from the realm of sciene that everyone knows already, but it's nice to have on hand at dinner parties with nonbelievers: A new study documents scientis' surprise to find that meditation acutally helps you focus emmensly. It helps you perform better and quicker on tests, especially if you've had little sleep the night before. The study was done with people who were not weathered practitioners so I bet your brain is even better if you've been at it for a while. It's also just a good thing to remember before going into an exam or meeting of any sort.
ALSO, the most intersting part: experienced meditators also GROW parts of their brain that they use while meditating. Amazing.
