Meditation and spirituality have taken centre stage in popular discussions about human life, turmoil in the present age and suffering of mankind. While such is the case, we delve into one of the aspects of human potential, creativity. We speak of the influence meditation and spirituality have on the human mind and how they inevitably contribute towards enhancement of creativity in an individual. Let us go ahead and look at this idea in detail. Recent studies that have extensively researched on the aspect of meditation have a lot to say as far as meditation's contribution to creativity is concerned. As such, meditation associates itself with several health benefits and is seen as the best way to achieving sublime mental health. What must be understood is that meditation does not just confine itself to benefiting our health, there is a lot more to it. We won't be delving into those facets, for our focus is on how meditation can influence creativity. An international study proclaimed that meditation has the capability of altering the brain structure. It is now a proven fact that meditation modifies structures in the brain and allows the brain to align itself so as to deliver optimum functioning. The areas of the brain that command creativity, memory and logic are enhanced tremendously. This answers the question of how meditation can influence creativity. Human capabilities are increased incredibly through meditation and spirituality. Another way by which meditation and spirituality enhance creativity is by the impact of meditation as far as our connection with the universe is concerned. The mysteries of the universe bend our minds beyond comparison. So imagine the level of creativity that can be harnessed through the practice of mediation and spirituality.
