Among the many health benefits of meditation, there’s a new one—it makes you a nicer person.
In a new study between Northeastern and Harvard Universities, it was found that “meditation can improve compassion and do-gooder behavior.”
Surprise–meditation actually makes you a better person.
An actor in crutches struggled with a waiting room, and volunteers either responded to help or didn’t. The overwhelming number of those who underwent meditation treatment helped the person versus those who didn’t.
It goes to show that the benefits of meditation aren’t just physical—the benefits can help everyone!
