Can meditation create measurable changes in the brain?

What do EEG meditation readings actually show during practice?

And how does neuroplasticity relate to the inner experience of awareness?

In this solo episode of The Spirit of Yoga, host Burkhard explores what modern research suggests about meditation and the nervous system: shifts in neurotransmitters and hormones, changes in brain activity observed through EEG and MRI, and longer-term structural changes that can appear with consistent practice.

From there, the episode opens into the inner landscape: the relationship between brain and mind, the way conditioning shapes our thoughts, and why consciousness is still deeply misunderstood from both the scientific “outside view” and the lived “inside view.”

You’ll also hear a contemplative perspective drawn from yoga and meditation traditions: the softening of the separate self, the felt sense of dissolving the “bubble-mind,” and moments of pure awareness described as a merging of individual consciousness with a wider field of presence.
