Meditation can help a person find peace by rewiring the brain, research has shown.
Just 11 hours learning a meditation technique called integrative body-mind training (IBMT) produced dramatic changes in the brains of volunteers.
Scans revealed that neuron connectivity was boosted in a part of the brain important for regulating emotions and behaviour.
"The pathway that has the largest change due to IBMT is one that previously was shown to relate to individual differences in the person's ability to regulate conflict," said US psychologist Professor Michael Posner, who co-led the research.
Previous work by the same team has shown that meditation reduces levels of anxiety, depression, anger and fatigue.
