{:en} In  the last ten years, meditation has grown from a purely spiritual practice into something that fascinates scientists too. Neuroscientific studies reveal that consistent meditation has the power to reshape how the brain works and even its physical structure. Research shows that meditation can positively change our brains, strengthening areas responsible for thinking, memory, and emotional control. As a result, we handle stress better, think more clearly, and focus more effectively. Consistent meditation also helps quiet the mind and sharpen attention. 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} Tugba Yazıcı / ArtTmodernmiami Once upon a time, people believed the world was flat. In addition, this flat world stood on the backs of two giant yellow oxen, without shaking. Yes, you heard right: yellow oxen. Mythology? Yes. However, if you look closely, you will notice that this myth has a lot in common with today's relationships. Two people, back to back… They are carrying the same tray. What is on the tray? Just the world? Oh, how possible! There are piles of bills, babysitters, dinner crises, personal space arguments and the echo of the phrase “we are not what we used to be”. Maybe a little art,...

{:en} Chapter 1: The Border Editor’s Note Living in Limbo is a narrative series inspired by the real-life experiences of people struggling to build a life between worlds. While some characters and events have been adapted for literary purposes, the emotions, decisions, and journeys portrayed here are rooted in true stories. Because sometimes a border is far more than a line drawn on a map. There are doors in life. Some seem to promise a new beginning the moment they open. Others never open at all. Yet the doors that change us the most are often the ones we never manage to walk through. That morning, the sun rose over San Diego just as it always...

{:en} When we think of exercise, we think of gyms, cardio training with various bodybuilding equipment, and weight programs. There is no need for a lot of equipment, sports equipment, and weights for an effective workout. You can also exercise using your body weight and even get in shape. Since I experienced this myself, I saw the difference very clearly. I offer a training program that I combine with the training I have recently received. Calisthenic training + yoga. So, what is the relationship between these two? ? As someone who has been doing yoga for a long time, I noticed that my strength increased in addition to...

{:en} I wanted to write a different article this time of year, drawing from my travel notes and reflecting on my experiences. I stepped into a new age in the last week of April. This year feels particularly significant because I’m celebrating my 35th birthday again! And I am always 35 now. 😊 Women know that this age is like a milestone. From now on, we will always say, “I am 35”, right?I update myself every birthday. It is like an internal software update… What I have learned from life, what I have felt, what tests I have passed… I take notes. This year, I wanted to...

{:en} I am not someone who likes to share my feelings. I am someone who lives in my own world, weighs and solves these situations. I did not want to constantly share this earthquake disaster on my social media pages, but I am in a situation that I see around me and now I need to intervene. Everyone around me is constantly talking and crying about this issue, making themselves suffer. It is very nice to share feelings, as the old saying goes, "Lives increase when shared". But there is also that; You cannot understand the pain of people who experience pain because it didn't happen to you,...

{:en} Why Mitochondrial Health Matters Mitochondria are tiny, specialized structures located inside nearly every cell in your body. Think of them as mini power plants—each one working hard to keep your cells (and you) alive and functioning. They have their DNA, separate from the DNA in your cell’s nucleus, allowing mitochondria to replicate and adapt based on your body’s needs (Nunnari & Suomalainen, 2012). Some cells—like those in your heart, muscles, and brain—contain thousands of mitochondria because they need huge amounts of energy (McBride, Neuspiel, & Wasiak, 2006). The main functions of mitochondria include: Energy Production: They convert nutrients like glucose and fatty acids into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency...

{:en} Dear sensitive souls of ArtTmodernmiami... As we enter the summer season, I am here with a brand new series of articles to appeal to the emotions a little more. Without further ado, I would like to make an introduction. What did the legendary pop group Boney M say in their song? One-way ticket! Think about it like this, friends. You are going on a road trip. To distant lands and this is not a vacation. Your ticket is only one way. What do you think fits in a suitcase? A few clothes, a little longing, a lot of hope... In this article, you will meet the owners of those quiet moments...
