Are you able to sum up what you're trying to do with your research, the big picture.

I think this summing up is the phrase we started with.

Your brain is a river and not a rock.

And so that means first we're in control.

We can make a conscious decision that's going to be affecting brain functioning.

And because the brain is the interface, we can change the world around us.

This allows us to look at development across the lifespan.

So why is it then that despite your research, despite the research of many other people, that clearly shows that meditation does alter how the brain operates, why is it that this fact seems to not be widely appreciated?
