Ultimately, meditation is something you can do anywhere and at any time, so getting comfortable meditating without guidance can be useful.
Este neurocientista cognitivo Amishi Jha conduziu uma estudo em 2012 na Universidade de Miami usando 48 fuzileiros navais dos EUA que se dirigiam de modo a este Iraque. Ela pratiquei meditação consciente com eles, o de que os ajudou a aumentar a qualidade a memória.
