Sadhguru's Samyama Sadhana Meditation May Slow Brain Aging

Harvard-affiliated researchers studied the effects of Samyama Sadhana meditation on brain age.

This meditation, developed by Sadhguru, involves intensive practices during an eight-day retreat.

Scientists found that people who practiced Samyama Sadhana had brains that looked about 5.9 years younger on average.

Brain scans during non-REM sleep were used to compare meditators with others.

The research adds to evidence of meditation's positive impact on brain health, and potentially reversing age-related decline.

Researchers also noted enhanced brain connectivity.
