Meditation practice shows improvement in memory, efficiency, melatonin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), skin resistance, and relative blood flow to the brain. Meditation increases regional cerebral blood flow in the frontal and anterior cingulate regions of the brain, increases efficiency in the brain's executive attentional network, and increases electroencephalogram (EEG) coherence.<ref name = "meditation AYU"/> | + | Meditation provides a number of positive health benefits by reduction in stress, anxiety, depression, pain (both physical and psychological),blood pressure, heart rate, lactate, cortisol, sympathetic overstimulation and cholesterol.
