In addition, meditation may increase gray matter in the brain, which could help slow age-related decline in memory and cognition, providing advantages for both the young...

{:en} Sometimes... Something inside you is stirring but you cannot speak. Words are stuck in your throat. However, a voice inside you does not stop. It screams aloud… "Come on!" it says, "Tell me!" You keep quiet. It does not. Even if you speak, no one understands. Then one day that voice finds a way. Sometimes it becomes a painting, sometimes a sculpture...
