In this module, we explore the physiology of mindfulness: what happens in the body as we practice meditation and mindful living? Since mindfulness practices have the power to alter the physical structure of the body and change the expression of our genes, it is important for us to understand better how this happens.
Throughout this module, consider how the practices that we engage in control the wiring of the human body and the human experience. By practising mindfulness, we wire (or train) the body for calm and relaxation, which will lead to both short and long-term physiological changes.
