I believe meditation can change your brain for the better.  Having meditated for many years, I can say from my own experience that I feel calmer and more peaceful inwardly now than I did before I learned to meditate.  It is very easy for me now to go into a meditative state at any time I want to--for brief or longer periods of time.  Meditation can change your perception of what is truly important in life -- and what is not.  Studies have shown that it helps to clear your mind, enabling you to make better decisions.
