The Adolescent Brain on Meditation-Jamison Monroe

Meditation is the process of slowing the brain down by learning to hyper focus the mind and gain some control over it explained Jamison Monroe, Founder of Newport Academy in Conn. and Calif. to Lon March 23, 2017.  Listen to Monroe explain the types he uses at Newport Academy are varied including mindfulness, guided imagery, breathing exercises, the watcher, running, mantras, gratitude and several others.  Monroe further explained that research shows that both secular and religious meditation can be very effective for adolescent depression and anxiety.  [Our thanks to Rich Simpson, owner of Pathways Abroad for providing our intro music]
