The amygdala (in the brain) is part of our survival mechanism. It’s always looking out for what is going to hurt us — especially if you are one of those people dealing with high levels of stress, anxiety or past traumas. Meditation improves focus and concentration so teens can focus on homework and perform better on exams. It helps with self-esteem and memory, reduces blood pressure and heart rate, and helps balance the immune system.
