Richard Clarke discusses the long-term effects of meditation, drawing from their own experience of over 5,000 hours of practice. Clarke notes that scientific research has shown that even a few weeks of regular meditation can bring about brain changes that are noticeable to others, such as increased mindfulness and decreased reactivity to negative stimuli. Long-term meditation practice can also improve the body's response to stress, quiet the default mode network of the brain, and change one's relationship to the idea of self. The author concludes that these findings demonstrate the power of meditation to transform the brain and emotional well-being.
