I've noticed that most people who live a life of fear have an overactive amygdala.
Mindfulness, meditation, and yoga have all been scientifically proven to stabilize the amygdala and reduce it over time. It takes months of dedicated practice to begin seeing the effects, probably takes years before any real change and lasting change is made. Also it takes good practice, proper practice, not just reading an article and going willy nilly.
