Students - Activate your right brain through meditation for better grades!

Greetings from the UK Togathering (Residential Deepening Course) in Norwich. One of our young meditators, Zoe, a 21 year old student of Marketing at the Middlesex University in her 2nd year, has reported an increase in her grades from being below average with passes of around 45-50% to a soaring 75-95% pass rate. She is one course for a 1st (Distinction) when she finishes her degree next year in 2010. Zoe attributes the amazing upturn in her abilities to FISU meditation. She said today ‘I am quite amazed by the upturn in my grades. Meditation has greatly improved my learning and retention abilities, and now I am seeing amazing marks and my mother is in shock! I am delighted with these results and attribute them to meditation. My fellow students are really curious as to this turn around, so I have told them about my practices and I am sure they are going to want to start soon too’. Meditation increases intelligence in people of all ages, but is particularly evident in young people. Though intelligence is associated with the left hand analytical side of the brain, once the right hand side is engaged, which happens when we meditate, the combination of the two allows us to have greater creativity, as this is associated with the right, more intuitive side of the brain. The traits of the left hand side of the brains are: methodical, temporal, sequential, linear, factual, systematic and formal, verbal and learning through systematic plans and completed by the traits of the right hand side of: intuitive, non-temporal, casual and informal, concrete, holistic, non verbal, visual-spatial and learning through exploration. So, as you see when we fully engage both hemisphere of the brain through meditation our ability can change from just ordinary to dynamic - and here’s living proof that that can be achieved by all of us.
