Email from Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation   Dear John, We have hundreds of messages from last year's Meditation Challenge participants, and their stories are a powerful encouragement for us to keep offering this week of meditation and connection. ​ "The practice enabled me to establish inner peace and grounding. I am better able to focus afterwards. Thank you!" Is there something almost magical about this meditation? Well, it has been practiced for thousands of years – time and again, people experience how it strengthens and steadies the mind. Many have reaped the benefits of developing a calm, focused, and resilient inner life through this simple daily practice. In the video below, I share more about why we practice this particular meditation and how it can support your brain, your mood, and your overall well-being. Meditate for Your Memory Challenge Monday, March 9 to Friday, March 13, 2026 12 pm PT / 1 pm MT / 2 pm CT / 3 pm ET We will teach you how to meditate, practice together, and then hold a Q&A for a total of 30 minutes. REGISTER FOR FREE Kirtan Kriya (KK) improves general brain function: It increases blood flow to significant areas in the brain that have to do with memory. It improves neurotransmitter function. It has been shown to activate other areas of the brain like the anterior and posterior cingulate gyrus. It increases gray matter in the brain, which is a marker of anti-aging. It decreases inflammation. It improves genetics. Thanks for making this community so vibrant and fun.
