• Not only do prayer and spiritual practice reduce stress, but just twelve minutes of meditation per day may slow down the aging process.

• Contemplating a loving God rather than a punitive God reduces anxiety and depression and increases feelings of security, compassion, and love.

• Intense prayer and meditation permanently change numerous structures and functions in the brain, altering your values and the way you perceive reality.
